ConExpo US,Asia Shows Set New Record

The 2008 international construction exposition ConExpoCON/AGG has set an exhibit space sales record, climbing to more than 1.9 million net square feet of exhibit space already. The show, slated for March 11-15, 2008 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, already has more than 1,000 exhibitors signed up.

This is the fourth consecutive time that the triennial exposition has broken its previous exhibit space total, starting with the 1999 show. The last show, in 2005, topped off at more than 1.88 million net square feet and was the largest trade exposition of any industry in the United States or Canada that year.

The show will be held at the Chinese Export Commodities Fair (CECF) Pazhou Complex in Guangzhou, China. The show's web site, www.conexpoasia.com, will carry updated exhibitor lists and provide other news as the date grows closer.act
