Show Space Selling

March 22, 2010

Despite continuing uncertainties in the manufacturing sector, companies continue to sign up to exhibit at the next ConExpo-Con/Agg and IFPE expositions, set for March 2011, according to the Assocation of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM). The co-located shows will be held March 22-26, 2011 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.

The shows will again feature specialized exhibit pavilions, including a focus on information technology/management, and international exhibit pavilions. Also, ICON Expo, with an emphasis on the concrete products industry, is co-locating with the shows in 2011.

With opening day about one year away, ConExpo-Con/Agg already covers more than 1.8 million net sq. ft. of exhibits, and IFPE is close to topping 100,000 net sq. ft. Exhibit space is still available, on a first come, first served basis, AEM said.

For added exhibitor value, the shows bundle a variety of services such as drayage into the exhibit space rate. This exhibitor "package plan" covers full drayage (including unloading/loading of all crated materials and machinery and delivery to exhibit spaces from the marshalling yard and pick-up at show close), general stand cleaning, and pipe and drape for standard inline exhibit stands. Exhibitors have access to complimentary marketing materials and exhibitor training sessions, especially useful for companies new to exhibiting or to IFPE and ConExpo-Con/Agg.
