A new gathering place
Leading construction equipment companies from around the world who supported the first-ever CONEXPO Russia construction equipment trade show have voiced their support and satisfaction with the inaugural show by increasing the amount of exhibit space they are buying for the next CONEXPO Russia, to be held in 2009. Such actions confirm that CONEXPO Russia is the new gathering place for construction equipment businesses in Russia as well as neighboring countries. The next show, CONEXPO Russia 2009, will attract an additional group of construction professionals from around the world who are looking to improve their businesses through the latest equipment, technology and industry training. The construction industry has been booming in Russia and CONEXPO Russia 2008 was endorsed by a number of leading Russian contractor and manufacturer groups, including RADOR and the Russian Builders Union. It was also certified by the United States Department of Commerce as a premier international trade event. Department of Commerce offices around Russia and the former Soviet states recruited delegations to attend what was the most innovative industry event in 2008. Show organizers reported that the inaugural CONEXPO Russia exceeded expectations with more than 230 exhibitors using more than 34 330 m2 of exhibit space. Participating exhibitors connected with customers from the Russian market and its neighbors, and thousands of leading contractors and other industry professionals conducted business with equipment manufacturers from around the world. The 6000 registered attendees were able to update their knowledge of business solutions and keep up with the newest construction methods. CONEXPO Russia is based on the CONEXPO-CON/AGG trade show model used by the Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM), the CONEXPO Russia show owner and producer. CONEXPO Russia is the only event in the region that is run by the industry, for the benefit of the industry. Its volunteer group of company executives determines the direction of the show to meet industry needs. Education is also an important show component, and CONEXPO Russia 2008 scheduled more than 20 education sessions to equip attendees with the tools to stay competitive and succeed. More details about CONEXPO Russia 2009 will be announced in the coming weeks. |
