The most obvious project underway during the last show was the construction of the new West Hall and adjacent Diamond Lot on the site of the old Gold Lot. The other was the Tesla-powered people mover, now called the ‘LVCC Loop,' it is an underground transport project being built under the LVCC. Now that both projects are complete, CONEXPO-CON/AGG, and the co-located IFPE will make full use of both.

"AEM and our show committees of industry leaders are working to take advantage of everything that has changed in Las Vegas to deliver a top-notch event delivering the latest innovations and best practices to help construction pros take their businesses and careers to the next level," said Dana Wuesthoff, show director of CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2023.

"Between the West Hall and Diamond Lot bringing a lot of displays closer to the rest of the show as well as serving as a connector to the Festival Lot, and the LVCC Loop making it effortless to get across the entire Las Vegas Convention Centre, it's never been easier for attendees to see everything they want to learn about when they get there."

According to the Las Vegas Convention Centre, the new West Hall provides an additional 1.4 million sq ft of indoor space, including 600,000sq ft of technologically advanced exhibit space. CONEXPO-CON/AGG is making West Hall a hub for earthmoving and materials handling displays in 2023, the largest of which include Case, K-Tec/Ashland, Hitachi and Hyundai.

The Diamond Lot, attached to the west of West Hall, will have a large variety of exhibits from business operations to hauling to portable power to underground construction. The largest exhibitors in this area include Bauer Equipment, CZM Foundation Equipment, Trail King, and Hammer & Steel.

The LVCC Loop, which features new electric Tesla vehicles carrying attendees around the LVCC, is the other major addition to the show. With stops in the South Hall (providing easy access to both floors of South Hall and IFPE exhibits), running to Central Hall (providing access to Central and North Halls) and finishing at Diamond Lot (providing access to West Hall), CONEXPO-CON/AGG and IFPE attendees can save themselves a lot time getting around. And with shuttle service carrying construction pros from West Hall to the Festival Lot where the largest exhibits at the show are, seeing the whole show has never been easier.
