Held from March 3-7, 2026, 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.

Show attendance was slightly up on the last time that ConExpo was held – in 2023 the AEM, the organisers of the event, said that more than 139,000 people attended ConExpo 2023.  

Spanning more than 3 million square feet of exhibit space, the show featured over 2,000 exhibitors showcasing the latest equipment, technology and services across every major construction sector.

“ConExpo-Con/Agg is where the construction industry comes to see what’s next,” said Dana Wuesthoff, Show Director. “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.”

Innovation across the industry was further recognised through the Next Level Awards, which honour breakthrough technologies transforming how construction projects are built and managed.

ConExpo announced the winners of its Next Level Awards program on Friday morning during a special event on the Ground Breakers Stage. After three days of voting, show attendees selected Husco’s GenSteer as the Contractors’ Choice for best equipment and Gravis Robotic’s Gravis Rack as the Contractors’ Choice for best technology.

The Ground Breakers Stage served as a hub for forward-looking conversations, drawing strong attendance for sessions on AI, workforce development, infrastructure investment, sustainability and the evolving role of data across construction operations. The Ground Breakers Stage sessions are now available to stream on demand.

ConExpo will return to Las Vegas, US, March 13-17, 2029.
