Don’t Miss CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026 — Registration Now Open
North America’s largest construction tradeshow returns March 3-7, 2026, to the Las Vegas Convention Center and Festival Grounds. Registration for CONEXPO-CON/AGG is now open, and compact equipment owners should take note — this is a rare, once-every-three-years opportunity to see the industry’s future in one place.
The Scale of the Show
The 2026 edition will host more than 2,000 exhibitors across 2.9 million sq ft. Expect 150 educational sessions covering technology, management, safety, workforce development and sustainability. In 2023, the show drew 139,000 attendees, including 24,000 international visitors from 133 countries. For compact equipment pros, that means access to the world’s biggest gathering of manufacturers, attachments, parts suppliers and service providers focused on machines under 130 hp.
