KHL Group, publisher of this magazine as well
as
Access International, International Rental
News, American Cranes & Transport
and a
number of other construction-related magazines,
will be on hand at booth 3498 with all of its
magazine titles. Please make sure to stop by the
booth to pick up the latest copies and our show
guides, meet the editors of the magazines or to
just sit down and rest for a moment.
Show management stresses that quality, not
size, is the goal of ConExpo-Con/Agg. A strategic
alignment with needs of the industry has led
to programs and events geared toward helping
attendees and exhibitors achieve the most value
out of their time at the shows, they say.
“Attendees will find the newest products and
technologies and technical experts ready to
discuss product features and applications. In
the space of a few days, in one place, visitors
can examine and compare the best of what our
industries have to offer,” stated Megan Tanel,
ConExpo-Con/Agg show director and AEM vice
president exhibitions and events.
While most OEMs have a tight lip on what
they will unveil,
ALH
expects new units from
JLG, Terex Aerial Work Platforms and Manitou
Americas, who are all planning pre-ConExpo
activities. That’s one extremely small portion
of the sheer number of new equipment that
will undoubtedly be debuted at the show. ALH
will have a full show guide in its special March
standalone edition, special for ConExpo.
For more information, keep your eyes on www.
khl.com and upcoming issues of

magazine. We will have another
in-depth preview in our January/February issue
as well as the overall show guide running in the
March issue.
