ConExpo-Con/Agg 2026 attracted more than 140,000 people from 128 countries to the Las Vegas Convention Center.
Held March 3 to 7, the show brought together contractors, manufacturers, technology leaders and workforce advocates to showcase new equipment, emerging technologies and solutions designed to help the construction sector build more efficiently, safely and sustainably.
The 2026 show spanned more than 3 million square feet of exhibit space and featured more than 2,000 exhibitors.
“ConExpo-Con/Agg is where the construction industry comes to see what’s next,” said Dana Wuesthoff, Show Director, ConExpo-Con/Agg. “This week demonstrated the resilience and ingenuity of our industry. From advanced machinery to digital tools that help crews work safer and smarter, the innovations unveiled here will shape jobsites for years to come.”
For many at the show, ConExpo provides a rare opportunity to see equipment firsthand, compare solutions and make purchasing decisions that will shape their operations for years to come.
“We’ve actually made deals here, met clients and connected with new partners,” said Ryan Ford of F&G Trucking Crane. “It’s one of the best places to bring the industry together and move business forward.”
Next Level Awards
Industry innovation was recognized at the show via the Next Level Awards, which honour breakthrough technologies transforming how construction projects are built and managed. The awards spotlight equipment and technology innovations that improve productivity, sustainability and jobsite safety, reinforcing ConExpo’s role as the global stage where the construction industry unveils ideas and machines shaping its future. After three days of voting, show attendees selected Husco’s GenSteer as Contractors’ Choice for best equipment and Gravis Robotics’ Gravis Rack as Contractors’ Choice for best technology.
“Autonomy and retrofit technology are changing the game,” said Federik Filz-Reiterdank of Crewline. “The ability to upgrade existing machines with sensors and automation is accelerating adoption across the industry.”
Across millions of square feet of exhibits, attendees had the opportunity to see thousands of machines, technologies and solutions while connecting directly with the manufacturers and innovators shaping the next era of construction.
“ConExpo-Con/Agg highlights the innovation pipeline that keeps construction moving forward,” said Eric Sauvage, President & CEO of LBX Company and ConExpo-Con/Agg 2026 Show Chair. “The technologies introduced this week are not concepts. They are real-world solutions contractors can adopt now to build faster, safer and more sustainably.”
A global gathering
ConExpo 2026 reinforced construction’s role as a driver of economic development, supporting infrastructure modernization, energy expansion, manufacturing growth and resilient communities. The show created opportunities for contractors and manufacturers to connect directly, exchange ideas and accelerate adoption of technologies that improve project outcomes.
“The value of coming here is almost impossible to quantify,” said Justin Herle or Datloff Bros. Construction. “You meet vendors, learn how others are solving problems and discover new ways of doing things that you can take back to your business.”
In addition to exhibits, attendees participated in 150 comprehensive education sessions, live demonstrations and peer-to-peer discussions designed to deliver actionable insights for businesses of every size.
“This show brings people together to learn about the latest equipment and technology while also sharing ideas on how to recruit and train the next generation of workers,” said Adonis Smith of IUOE Local 478. The next ConExpo returns March 13 to 17, 2029.
