World of Concrete is the commercial concrete and masonry construction industry's annual event, with indoor halls and large outdoor exhibits of heavy equipment, tools and materials. Attendees are contractors, producers and distributors.

What drives the cost at World of Concrete 2027

  • Heavy equipment and outdoor exhibits need forklifts, special handling and sometimes cranes, which are billed beyond standard drayage.
  • Outdoor lots have their own power, setup and weather considerations. Budget for generators or outdoor electrical if needed.
  • Material samples are heavy. Display cut sections rather than full pallets where possible.

Dates and travel

  • Discount deadlines. Most exhibitor kits close the lower prices for labor, electrical and advance-warehouse freight three to four weeks before move-in. For World of Concrete 2027 that means around December 22, 2026 to December 29, 2026. Your kit has the exact dates.
  • Hotel nights. 3 exhibit days plus a day each for move-in and move-out is about 5 nights per person. The estimate budgets $1,500–$3,000 per traveler.
  • Also in Las Vegas around the same dates: CES (Jan 6–9, 2027), The Baseball Convention (Jan 15–18, 2027), AVN Adult Entertainment Expo (Jan 20–23, 2027), Sports Licensing & Tailgate Show (Jan 20–22, 2027), Las Vegas Market (Jan 24–28, 2027). Book hotels early when large events overlap.
