01 Purple at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2029

Booms over the aisle, 3 million sq ft: CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2029 booths in Las Vegas

CONEXPO-CON/AGG comes around once every three years, and the 2029 edition fills the Las Vegas Convention Center March 13–17. Machines sit on indoor floors and outdoor asphalt lots, cranes climb past 100 ft, and space goes by priority points. We plan displays around that scale.

  • Mar 13–17, 2029 · Las Vegas
  • 140,000+ attendees in 2026
  • Every three years

What makes CONEXPO-CON/AGG different, and how we build for it

No other North American show puts every construction sector under one roof and on one parking lot.AEM produces CONEXPO-CON/AGG with NRMCA and NSSGA as principal sponsors and AGC as show sponsor, and it runs only every third year, so a launch planned for March 2029 waits a long time if it misses. The 2026 edition spread across the LVCC halls and the Las Vegas Festival Grounds, with the Ground Breakers Stage, 150 education sessions and the Next Level Awards, where attendees voted the Contractors' Choice winners. Indoor engines stay off; outdoors, machines can run inside their own lot lines.

Fleet and equipment managers

Side-by-side comparisons of machines, telematics and attachments, with the engineers who built them on hand to answer duty-cycle questions.

Contractors and owners

New models and technology they can buy before the next bid season, and a straight conversation about price, delivery and dealer support.

Aggregates, concrete and asphalt producers

Crushers, screens, mixers, pavers and plant equipment in one place, from a show co-owned by their own associations.

Your team in Las Vegas

How Purple runs CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2029 in Las Vegas

We fabricate and print in Las Vegas, close enough to the LVCC that a late graphic change is a same-day fix. Freight goes to the advance warehouse or direct on your target date, and our project manager leads the install with Freeman and the union labor the LVCC requires, then stores the booth for the next edition.

Rules that shape your CONEXPO-CON/AGG booth

Fuel and batteries on display machines

In 2026 indoor machines held no more than a quarter tank or five gallons, with fuel caps locked or taped and one starting battery cable removed and taped. We stage machines with that done before the fire marshal walks the hall.

Organizer rule

Crane booms past 100 ft

Only tower and fixed-angle cranes over 100 ft could swing a boom outside the space in 2026, with half the boom inside and a high-wind plan on file. We draw the footprint and coordinate it with the official craning and rigging contractor.

Organizer rule

Drilled stakes, never into concrete

Outdoor tents and structures need an approved staking plan; stakes are drilled, never hand-driven, and never into concrete. Tents over 400 sq ft need a Clark County permit. We submit staking and truss drawings with wind and seismic loads.

Organizer rule

EVs charge outside only

Electric vehicles and their batteries could not be charged indoors in 2026, and battery specifications went to the LVCVA fire office months ahead. We plan an approved outdoor charging spot and file the EV forms with the booth plans.

Organizer rule

Dust and 85 dB

Show management recommended noise under 85 decibels at 10 ft in 2026 and required dust control for demos with aggregates or concrete. We keep live demos outdoors, contain material with block walls and point speakers inward.

Organizer rule

Programs worth planning for

Next Level Awards

The booth we would build for CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2029

The machine-first island with a quiet back office

At CONEXPO-CON/AGG the machine is the headline and the buyer is a fleet manager walking miles of aisle. The island puts the unit at the corner where two aisles cross, lit from above, and hides a closed meeting room behind it for the price talk that follows.

Concept lot plan for CONEXPO-CON/AGG, not to scale: an outdoor lot with machines on the frontage and shelter at the back, following the lot rules on this page; your final plan is drawn to your lot size and the organizer's rules.
01

Corner machine

One flagship unit set 6 in back from both aisles, engine off, with a spec rail at knee height showing payload, fuel burn and cost per hour.

02

Cutaway table

A sectioned pump, axle or control module under glass with an engineer beside it, for the technical questions fleet managers bring.

03

Uptime wall

A 16 ft back structure with a large screen running telematics dashboards and jobsite footage, so the parked machine is seen working.

04

Deal room

A closed meeting room with a table for six, a screen and storage, booked by dealers and key accounts for all five days.

The demo

Indoors, play the machine's duty cycle on screen beside the real unit and let visitors sit in the cab with the engine off. If the product must move, take an outdoor lot, where engines may run inside the lot lines.

The meetings

The show rents a limited number of LVCC meeting rooms to exhibitors, with 2029 pricing still to come, so most deal-making happens in the booth. A built-in room books out first; we size it to the dealer network you expect.

More hours on the job. Fewer in the shop.
What the back wall could say at CONEXPO-CON/AGG

Read before you design for CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2029

CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2029 exhibit rules: wall heights, hanging signs, running engines and lot loads

CONEXPO-CON/AGG fills every LVCC hall plus paved outdoor lots and the Festival Grounds. Until AEM posts the 2029 manual, the 2026 rules decide how tall a stand gets, what hangs above it and where diesel may run.

CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2029 exhibit rules, from the organizer and venue
RuleWhat the manual saysWhat it means for your booth
01Shallow booth heightSpaces under 20 ft deep: exhibit materials and signs to 10 ft, solid items over 4 ft set back 5 ft, no hanging signs or truss (2026 rules) sourceA 10 by 30 ft inline cannot fly a logo, so brand height has to come from the back wall and the machine itself.
02Island and deep-space heightIslands, peninsulas and corner or perimeter spaces 20 ft deep or more: structures and signs to 16 ft, machinery height unlimited, machines 6 in off every aisle (2026 rules) sourceAt 16 ft the excavator arm is usually the tallest thing in the booth, so we build the office and graphics around the machine profile.
03Hanging signsAt least 4 ft clear above the tallest wall, 1,500 lb maximum, LVCC approval of drawings, all rigging ordered from the official general contractor (2026 rules) sourceA sign over a 16 ft wall hangs at 20 ft or higher, and the Freeman rigging line belongs in the first budget, not the final invoice.
04Engines only outdoorsGasoline and diesel engines run outdoors only; an operating machine has no height limit while it stays inside its space; lifting people with equipment is banned (2026 rules) sourceLive digging, crushing or lifting demos belong on a lot space, while hall machines stand static with sealed tanks.
05Lot pavement loadLVCC asphalt lots: recommended 250 lb per sq ft; heavier pieces trench plated with LVCVA notice; no drilling or anchoring into concrete sections (2026 rules) sourceOutrigger pads and track loads get calculated before freight is booked, and steel plate rental is a line item for the biggest units.
06Tracks over 250,000 lbSteel tracks above 250,000 lb roll on 1 in steel plate inside and out; lighter units may use 1 in plywood; site plan to LVCVA (2026 rules) sourceMining-class machines need plate laid from the gate to the space, which shapes the move-in order and the contractor labor.
07Staking and structuresStakes drilled, never hand driven; no staking into concrete; tents over 400 sq ft need a Clark County permit; truss plans due 90 days out (2026 rules) sourceAn outdoor hospitality tent or truss gate triggers permits and engineering months ahead, so the lot design freezes early.

Case study · KLEEMANN

KLEEMANN at an industrial technology exhibition

KLEEMANN showed its elevators through digital simulations beside real product, so visitors saw the system work without it running. Indoor exhibitors at CONEXPO-CON/AGG face the same limit: engines stay off in the halls, so the motion has to come from screens and cutaways.

Two builders in white hard hats and lime vests shaking hands in front of a rising concrete frame1

Indoors, the engine stays off

In 2026 gasoline and diesel engines could run outdoors only, and indoor machines had fuel at a quarter tank or five gallons, caps locked and one battery cable taped off. We bring motion in with screens, cutaways and lit hydraulics instead of noise.

Three engineers in red and blue hard hats smiling over unrolled plans inside a brick shell2

Plan the floor load first

LVCC load limits drive where heavy units can go: 175 lb per sq ft on the Central 3 concourse, 300 lb on South Hall levels 3 and 4, and a floor plan to the LVCVA for any piece over 250,000 lb. We map every machine weight before the booth layout.

3

Use the height you are given

In 2026 standard spaces stopped at 10 ft, islands and perimeter spaces reached 16 ft, and hanging signs needed 4 ft of air above the highest wall and a 1,500 lb limit. Products are exempt from height rules, so the machine can be the tallest thing in the booth.

4

Sell to the fleet manager

75% of 2026 attendees were involved in purchasing decisions and 93% came to see new products, per CONEXPO-CON/AGG. Graphics that show uptime, fuel burn and cost per hour reach the person who signs the order better than a slogan.

Where you could be at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2029

In 2026 CONEXPO-CON/AGG used the LVCC halls, its outdoor lots and the Las Vegas Festival Grounds, each with its own floor, load and staking rules, per the 2026 Rules & Regulations.

ALVCC indoor halls
BLVCC outdoor lots
CLas Vegas Festival Grounds (2026)
Las Vegas Convention Center, Las VegasSchematic, not to scale
A

LVCC indoor halls

Standard spaces to 10 ft, islands and perimeter spaces to 16 ft; most floors have no load limit, but South Hall levels 3 and 4 cap at 300 lb per sq ft.

Our advice Machines with a permanently fixed brand name may exceed sign height rules; other signs may not.

B

LVCC outdoor lots

Asphalt with a 250 lb per sq ft guideline; heavier units sit on trench plates, and anchoring needs LVCVA approval.

Our advice Pop-up canopies must be weighted or staked and lowered every evening.

C

Las Vegas Festival Grounds (2026)

The first lot to open for move-in in 2026 and the last to close; staking is limited where water, electrical and gas lines run below.

Our advice Self-installed pop-up canopies were not allowed here in 2026.

CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2029 move-in, floor loads and LVCC rules

CONEXPO-CON/AGG move-in runs by target date: in 2026 the Festival Lot opened February 2, the Platinum Lot February 4, the Silver and Diamond lots February 21 and the indoor halls February 23, with dismantle running to March 18. The LVCC is a union venue, and the 2026 rules sent all material handling, rigging and hanging signs through the official general contractor, Freeman, with a strict no-tipping rule and a clean floor policy for empty crates. Oversize loads need a heavy transporter about 90 days ahead and Nevada over-dimensional permits. On site, our project manager directs Freeman and union hands through each target window.

Hall rules, drayage estimates and freight deadlines for the building that hosts CONEXPO-CON/AGG are in our Las Vegas Convention Center exhibitor guide.

What Purple handles

  • Indoor islands and outdoor lot builds sized to the priority space you are assigned
  • Floor-load and machine placement plans for the LVCVA engineering office
  • Staking, truss and tent drawings with wind-load data for the outdoor lots

CONEXPO-CON/AGG tips from the rules and exhibitor pages

  1. Space applications for 2029 open in fall 2027, and in 2026 only companies that applied with a deposit by the priority cutoff got a location appointment, so the budget conversation starts in 2027. source

  2. Maritz is the only company that sells CONEXPO-CON/AGG registration, education and lead retrieval; any offer of an attendee list comes from someone else and should be reported. source

  3. Exhibit space in 2026 included advance warehouse freight service, daily cleaning and music licensing, so a quote that adds those as extras is billing you twice. source

  4. For Sale and Sold signs had size caps in 2026 by machine height, up to 24×36 in for equipment over 10 ft, so print them to size before you ship. source

  5. Any material you bring to build a demo pit, sand, gravel, railroad ties or carpet, must leave with you, or the general contractor bills the disposal after dismantle. source

CONEXPO-CON/AGG exhibitor questions

CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2029 questions exhibitors ask

When is CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2029?

March 13–17, 2029, at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Exhibits are open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday to Friday and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, per the CONEXPO-CON/AGG fact sheet. The show runs every three years; the last edition was March 3–7, 2026.

When can we apply for exhibit space at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2029?

Fall 2027, when exhibitor space applications open, per CONEXPO-CON/AGG. Until then, AEM takes information requests and notifies companies when sales open. For 2026, applications with a 50% deposit filed by October 4, 2024 entered the priority assignment process.

How much does exhibit space at CONEXPO-CON/AGG cost?

2029 rates are not confirmed yet. In 2026 space was priced per square foot by membership and timing, from $17.45 for member outdoor space to $45.85 for small indoor space at a non-member rate, per the 2026 Rules & Regulations. AEM, NRMCA, NSSGA and NFPA members paid less than non-members.

How is booth space assigned at CONEXPO-CON/AGG?

By a priority formula. In 2026 companies with 50 or more priority points that applied on time and requested outdoor space or 400 sq ft or more indoors got a set appointment to pick a location in their product area; smaller indoor requests were placed in priority order.

How many people attend CONEXPO-CON/AGG?

More than 140,000 construction professionals from 128 countries attended in 2026, with over 2,000 exhibitors on more than 3 million sq ft, per the organizer's results release. The 2023 show, combined with IFPE, drew 139,000+ registrants and 2,400+ exhibitors.

Can we run machines at CONEXPO-CON/AGG?

Outdoors only, inside your own lot. The 2026 rules allowed gasoline and diesel engines outdoors, with no height limit while equipment stays within the space, and banned lifting attendees on any machine. Indoors, fuel was limited to a quarter tank or five gallons with one battery cable removed.

Can a crane boom extend over the aisle at CONEXPO-CON/AGG?

Only tower and fixed-angle cranes with towers over 100 ft, under the 2026 rules: the boom may leave the space only above 100 ft, half of it must stay inside, and the exhibitor files a footprint and a high-wind plan. Everything else stays 6 in back from the aisles.

What are the floor load limits at the LVCC for CONEXPO-CON/AGG?

175 lb per sq ft on the Central 3 concourse and 300 lb per sq ft or 16,000 lb per wheel on South Hall levels 3 and 4; other indoor areas are unlimited, per the 2026 rules. Outdoor asphalt has a 250 lb per sq ft guideline, with trench plates above that.

Who runs freight and labor at CONEXPO-CON/AGG?

Freeman was the official general contractor in 2026, handling targeted move-in, material handling, crane rigging and hanging signs with union labor. Exhibitor-appointed contractors registered with a certificate of insurance by January 16, 2026 for that edition.

When do CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2029 hotel blocks open?

Spring 2028, when exhibitor hotel and travel information is published. Maritz and FHTglobal are the only official hotel providers for 2029, and the organizer warns that any other company selling rooms in its blocks is not authorized.

What is the difference between CONEXPO-CON/AGG and World of Concrete?

CONEXPO-CON/AGG is the every-three-years show for every construction sector, from earthmoving to cranes and aggregates, on 3 million+ sq ft; World of Concrete is the annual LVCC show for concrete and masonry contractors each January. Concrete brands often do both, sized differently.

Can Purple build our CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2029 booth?

We design and build indoor islands and outdoor lot displays in our Las Vegas shop, file the floor-load, staking and hanging sign plans, and our project manager runs move-in on your target date with the Freeman and union labor the show requires.

Before you sign for CONEXPO-CON/AGG

Five questions to ask any exhibit builder for CONEXPO-CON/AGG:

  1. How will you plan our layout around LVCC floor-load limits and the 6 in setback from every aisle?
  2. Who files our staking, truss and tent drawings with wind-load data for the outdoor lot, and by when?
  3. How will you show our machine working when engines must stay off indoors?
  4. Can you rig a hanging sign under the 1,500 lb limit through Freeman, and what does that add to the budget?
  5. Where will our booth live between 2026, 2029 and World of Concrete, and how is it priced per month?

What CONEXPO-CON/AGG exhibitors ask us

2029 is far away. Why plan now? Because space is assigned by priority and applications open in fall 2027. Companies that build points and apply on time choose their location; late applicants take what is left, which matters on 3 million sq ft.

Indoor island or outdoor lot? Indoors suits components, technology and machines shown static; engines may run only outdoors, where there is no height limit inside your space. Outdoor lots in 2026 started at 400 sq ft and need staking, tent and load plans.

We are a small supplier. Can we compete with the big yellow-iron stands? Yes, by being easy to find in your product concentration area and clear on what you solve. A 10×20 or 20×20 with one strong product, a screen and an engineer on hand works well where 93% came to see new products.
