What makes NDA Demolition Convention & Expo different, and how we build for it
Demolition Fort Worth is the one U.S.show built entirely around taking structures down. On Thursday, shuttles leave the Fort Worth Convention Center for the Live DEMOlition Event at Lindamood Inc. in Irving, where attendees run excavators, shears, concrete breakers, dust control cannons and robotics on a working site. The Expo opens that evening with a reception and runs Friday and Saturday morning, beside the Destination NDA education stage, Demo Dialogues, the Superintendent Boot Camp and the Saturday Awards Banquet. NDA's priority points decide 2028 booth selection, so how you exhibit in 2027 shapes next year's spot.
Carriers, attachments and robots they have just seen working outdoors, with a dealer and a finance answer the same day.
Tools that cut time on a tight urban job: shears, pulverizers, saws and dust suppression that keep a site open.
Dust control, silica compliance and remote-operated machines that keep people away from the drop zone.
Your team in Fort Worth
How Purple runs Demolition Fort Worth 2027
Our Las Vegas or Fishkill, NY shop builds the plated decks, stands and graphics, and freight goes to the warehouse or hall named in NDA's Exhibitor Services Kit. The Purple project manager books the Tuesday equipment appointment, leads the install with the labor the Fort Worth Convention Center allows, and holds the strike until 11 a.m. Saturday.
Inside NDA Demolition Convention & Expo 2027
Rules that shape your NDA Demolition Convention & Expo booth
Exhibits stay intact until the hall closes at 11 a.m. on February 20, 2027, and anyone dismantling early loses 10 priority points for future space selection. We book the dismantle crew for 11 a.m. and not a minute before.
Audiovisual presentations must not block aisles and must run in a sound-proof room, and music must not disturb other exhibits. We enclose a small theater for demo video or use captions on an open screen.
NDA does not provide booth carpeting, and every exhibitor must carpet the booth. We supply flooring sized to the space, plated where heavy attachments sit.
Everyone at the Live DEMOlition Event wears PPE, signs the NDA Safety Waiver and needs closed-toe shoes. We brief your demo team and plan the outdoor space to NDA's safety plan.
Giveaways are limited to items such as bags, pens, notepads, mugs and key chains; noisemakers, tobacco and costumed gimmicks are banned, with fines up to $2,500. We design the booth draw around the machines.
Programs worth planning for
Thursday outdoor demo at Lindamood Inc. in Irving: $12,000 for a 100×60 ft. space with base and attachment, corrals from $5,000.
Interactive discussions in the Demo Dialogues area on Friday; the two sponsorships at $3,500 include a 20-minute speaking session.
The member-booth stage sponsorship at $10,000 includes a 30-minute speaking slot and branding on the stage backdrop and schedule.
A bar in your Expo booth on Friday, February 19 as a stop on the happy hour route, $7,500 with bartender service and signage.
NDA's Demolition Fort Worth is the specialist demolition show with an outdoor Live DEMO; choose it over World of Concrete or CONEXPO-CON/AGG when your buyers are demolition and dismantling contractors and your tool needs to be run, not just seen.

The booth we would build for NDA Demolition Convention & Expo 2027
The jaws-and-teeth booth after the demo
Contractors meet your machine at the Live DEMO on Thursday and arrive at the Expo with questions about wear, cycle times and price. The indoor booth replays the demo, puts the steel in their hands and gives them a table, all inside NDA's sound rule and the short Friday and Saturday hours.
Replay wall
Thursday's Live DEMO footage on a captioned screen at the aisle, enclosed or directional so the sound stays inside the booth.
Steel on stands
Shear jaws, breaker tools and pulverizer teeth on plated stands at hand height, with wear-part costs next to each.
Robot bay
A remote demolition robot or dust cannon parked on a deck, with the remote on a counter for a superintendent to hold.
Owner's table
Four chairs behind the steel where a demolition company owner can talk dealer support, financing and the next tear-down.
The demo
Hand visitors the same tool they ran in Irving, show the wear part that wore least, and finish with a site-specific cycle-time estimate on a tablet. Keep any engine noise for the outdoor event.
The meetings
Set meetings at the Live DEMO, hold them in the booth on Friday between 10:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., and use the Friday evening party and Saturday Awards Banquet for owners who fly out early.
More tons down per shift. Less dust on the street.

NDA Demolition Convention & Expo 2027 exhibit rules: equipment move-in, carpet, sound and the Live DEMO lots
Demolition Fort Worth splits into a Fort Worth Convention Center hall and an outdoor working site at Lindamood Inc. in Irving. NDA's 2027 rules and exhibit pages set when machines roll in, what each booth must bring, how loud it can be and when it comes down.
| Rule | What the manual says | What it means for your booth |
|---|---|---|
| 01Equipment move-in | Equipment only on Tuesday, February 16, by appointment; everyone else moves in Wednesday and Thursday from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. (2027) source | Carriers and attachments are placed first, so the booth design starts from where each machine is spotted on Tuesday. |
| 02Booth carpet | Not included with the space and required for every booth (2027) source | Heavy steel needs a plated or padded deck under the carpet, so flooring is a line item from the first quote for Fort Worth. |
| 03Booth package | A 7 by 44 inch ID sign, an 8 ft back drape and 3 ft side rails come with the space (2027) source | The drape outlines the space at 8 ft, so inline exhibits keep structure low and let the shear or breaker be the tall element. |
| 04Sound rule | Audiovisual presentations may not block aisles and must run in a sound-proof room; music may not disturb neighbors (2027 rules) source | A replay of the Live DEMO needs captions or an enclosed theater, which takes floor space we plan into the footprint early. |
| 05Early dismantle | Exhibits stay intact until the 11 a.m. Saturday close; dismantling early costs 10 priority points; everything out by noon Sunday (2027 rules) source | Priority points decide the 2028 booth pick, so crating is designed to start at 11 sharp and clear the hall Sunday morning. |
| 06Live DEMO space | Initial outdoor space about 100 by 60 ft with one base machine and one attachment, $12,000; each added space $8,000 (2027) source | The outdoor lot is where machines run, so the indoor booth carries steel on stands and footage rather than a working engine. |
| 07Equipment corrals | Corrals of about 50 by 40 ft at the Live DEMO: $5,000 for 1 or 2 pieces, $7,500 for 3 to 5 (2027) source | A corral parks machines for touch-and-sit without an operating plan, a lower-cost way to have iron in Irving beside the hall booth. |
| 08Hall ceiling height | Fort Worth Convention Center Exhibit Halls A to F list a 25 ft ceiling height source | A high-reach machine at full boom will not stand up indoors, so we show it folded or on screen and keep booth structure well below the ceiling. |

Case study · KLEEMANN
KLEEMANN at an industrial technology exhibition
KLEEMANN's booth paired real machines with simulations and led visitors from the product to a technical conversation. That is the job of an NDA indoor booth: the jaws and teeth on a stand, the Live DEMO footage beside them, and a table where the contractor talks about the next job.

04 Designing for demolition carrier, high-reach, attachment, breaker, shear, robot, concrete cutting, dust control and recycling equipment makers at NDA Demolition Convention & Expo
Designing an NDA Expo booth that follows the Live DEMO
1Close what the demo started
Buyers see your machine working on Thursday in Irving and walk your booth that night and Friday. We put the Live DEMO footage at eye level the moment they step in, then the same jaws and teeth on stands they can touch.
2Build for heavy steel on a light floor
Attachments and robots are dense and point-loaded. We plate the deck, spread the load and put the heaviest piece where the forklift drops it, so the build goes around the steel, not the other way round.
3Keep sound inside the booth
NDA requires audiovisual presentations not to block aisles and to run in a sound-proof room, and music must not disturb neighbors. We enclose a small theater or use directional speakers and captions.
Plan for a short Saturday
The hall closes at 11 a.m. on Saturday, and packing early costs 10 priority points. We schedule dismantle crews for 11 sharp and design crating that goes fast.

Where you could be at NDA Demolition Convention & Expo 2027
Demolition Fort Worth runs in two places. This is how each one shapes your exhibit, from NDA's 2027 pages and rules.
Fort Worth Convention Center Expo
Indoor booths in 10-foot increments, open Thursday evening for the reception, Friday 10:30–4:30 and Saturday 9–11 a.m.
Our advice Carpet is required and not provided; plate the deck for heavy attachments.
Live DEMOlition Event, Irving
Outdoor spaces of about 100×60 ft. at Lindamood Inc. on Thursday, with base machine and attachment, reached by NDA shuttles.
Our advice The last bus leaves the convention center at 2:30 p.m.; schedule your staff on the early runs.
Equipment corrals
About 50×40 ft. corrals at the Live DEMO for nano-lifts, scissor lifts, concrete cutters, compressors and small robotics.
Our advice A small corral at $5,000 suits a robot or saw maker that cannot fill a full outdoor space.

It is the most concentrated room of demolition buyers in the U.S., and the Live DEMO lets them run your tool before they reach the hall. A member 10×20 indoors plus a $5,000 corral or $12,000 outdoor space covers both halves of the show.
What is the difference between NDA and World of Concrete?
NDA is only demolition, with a hands-on outdoor demo and a hall of a few hundred contractors who all tear things down. World of Concrete in Las Vegas each January covers the whole concrete trade, with demolition as one corner of a far larger floor.
Can Purple build our NDA booth in Fort Worth?
Yes. We fabricate in Las Vegas or Fishkill, NY, book the equipment move-in appointment, supply the required carpet and crating, and our project manager is on the Fort Worth floor from move-in to the Sunday deadline.
Before you sign for NDA Demolition Convention & Expo
Ask any NDA Demolition Convention & Expo exhibit builder these five questions:
- Will you book our Tuesday equipment move-in appointment and plan the deck for our heaviest attachment?
- How will you meet NDA's rule that audiovisual runs in a sound-proof room?
- Do you supply the booth carpet NDA requires, and plated flooring under the steel?
- How fast can your crew strike the booth at the Saturday 11 a.m. close?
- Can you store the booth after Fort Worth and ship it to World of Concrete or CONEXPO-CON/AGG?
What NDA Demolition Convention & Expo exhibitors ask us
Do we need both an indoor booth and a Live DEMO space? For a machine or attachment maker, the demo sells and the booth closes. A $5,000 corral or $12,000 outdoor space plus a member 10×20 indoors covers both halves of the show.
The Saturday hall is open only two hours. Is a big booth worth it? Friday is the main selling day and Thursday's reception opens the floor. Spend on a booth that works hard for those hours, and plan dismantle for the 11 a.m. close so you keep your priority points.
Our attachments are heavy. Will the floor take them? We plate the deck, spread point loads and use the Tuesday equipment move-in by appointment so the heaviest pieces are placed before the booth goes up around them.
