The IFPE and ConExpo-Con/Agg expositions have extended their co-location agreement through 2014.
IFPE and ConExpo-Con/Agg first co-located in 2002, and the next edition of the triennial shows will be March 11-15, 2008, at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas. An estimated 125,000 visitors are expected to attend the two events.
“We have been extremely pleased with the results of the co-location,” says Linda Western, executive director of the National Fluid Power Association (NFPA), IFPE co-owner. “Our exhibitors have access to a vast array of OEM customers at the adjacent ConExpo-Con/Agg exhibits, and our attendees have the opportunity to see a wide variety of quality, innovation solutions from more than 500 leading suppliers.”
The events’ organizers anticipate that IFPE, the International Exposition for Power Transmission, will be the largest event in 2008 in North America for the motion control industry, while ConExpo will be the largest international construction industry event.
“The IFPE exhibits complement the components section of ConExpo-Con/Agg, providing added value to attendees and exhibitors alike,” says Megan Tanel, director of ConExpo-Con/Agg. “ConExpo-Con/Agg exhibitors also benefit by the convenient access that their engineers, specifiers, R&D and other technical personnel have to the latest power transmission technologies.”
