The Association for Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) are the owners and organizers for ConExpo-Con/Agg 2017, the triennial tradeshow, which is the largest international gathering in the Western Hemisphere for the construction industries. Here are suggestions and tips straight from the horse's mouth, AEM, for making attendance at ConExpo enriching and worthwhile.
Patricia Monroe, public relations manager, with AEM collected much of this information from resources within AEM and also offered two bits of personal advice: “Wear comfortable shoes and keep hydrated.”

Tech Experience will be showcasing the ideas and technologies that are expected to transform construction in the future. Focuses on industry innovations and future growth opportunities in the technology field, including drones, autonomous machines, 3-D imaging, smart apps, gamification, big data and IoT.
