LAS VEGAS - Due to the growing concerns about COVID-19, the travel restrictions put in place by president Donald Trump and changing corporate travel policies that impact many of the attendees and exhibitors, the decision was made to close ConExpo-Con/Agg & IFPE one day early, closing on Friday, March 13 at 5 p.m.
The decision was made based on conversations with AEM officers and other leadership, several top exhibitors, the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority and the office of the Nevada Governor.
From the ConExpo site: "As we have said from early February when the first news of COVID-19 became available, we were committed to monitoring the situation daily and keeping our top priority focused on the health and safety of all participants at CONEXPO-CON/AGG & IFPE 2020, including attendees, exhibitors, vendors, staff, industry partners, and others involved in the show.
After 5 p.m. on March 13, we will begin to dismantle booths and begin the scheduled process of removing equipment from the show floor.
A press release announcing final attendance and more information will be provided soon.
We thank our exhibitors, attendees, vendors and the City of Las Vegas for its support throughout this week."
