ConExpo Seminars Announced

The seminar program for ConExpo-Con/Agg 2005 has been published and distributed, along with a new registration brochure for the massive construction and aggregates industry event.

ConExpo, held every three years in Las Vegas, is taking place March 15-19, 2005 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. The annual meetings of several associations are being held in coordination with ConExpo, including the Construction Materials Recycling Association (CMRA) Annual Meeting, being held at Treasure Island on Tuesday, March 16.

Select seminars will offer simultaneous translation in four languages (Chinese, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish ) to make it easier for international attendees to more fully participate in the exposition and reap the benefits of onsite education, according to the show’s organizers.

More than 100,000 industry professionals from around the world are expected to visit the show. Approximately 14 percent of the audience for the last 2002 ConExpo consisted of international participants.
