LAS VEGAS, April 8, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — Compared to all construction trade shows nationwide, New York's GreenPatch® focused most of its marketing around the CONEXPO-CON/AGG & IFPE show because of its proven ROI and its success in attracting record numbers in attendance, exhibitors and new product showcases. This year's event broke most of its own records by delivering over 1000 new product innovations and construction technologies to nearly 130,000 in ticket sales from over 170 countries. "The enthusiasm on the show floor was just incredible. Exhibitors cited the high quality of attendees; these were serious buyers and reported robust sales to customers that exceeded their expectations," stated Megan Tanel, CONEXPO-CONAGG show director.

The exodus of spectators and exhibitors held a common feeling of confidence in the show as an indicator of the industry's economic heath. "We are constantly impressed by what the expo has to offer the construction field," states Dario Amicucci of Cold Mix Manufacturing. "But this year topped it all with some of the most amazing innovations in equipment, environmental advancements and technological upgrades!"
Both shows set new records for exhibit space and number of exhibitors, CONEXPO-CON/AGG with more than 2.35 million net square feet of exhibit space and more than 2,000 exhibitors, and IFPE with more than 161,000 net square feet and 400 exhibitors. CONEXPO-CON/AGG & IFPE 2014 maintained the growing international scope of the shows with registrations totaling more than 31,000, or an increase of nine percent from the most recent events. The number of countries represented increased to 170 from 159 in 2011, and the number of international attendees matched the record 24 percent of total attendance set in 2011. International attendance drew heavily from Latin America, China, Canada, and Europe.
Aside from its major exhibits, the CONEXPO/CONAGG show is also recognized in the industry for its educational programs – setting a new record of over 41,000 ticket sales for seminars on safety, new technology and group presentations. "The Expo has (also) become the complete resource for the construction business professional… their educational pavilions bring continued updates on current policies, methods and business practices- and they teach you how to stay ahead of the game," touts Bill Outlaw, regional mid-Atlantic sales rep and show exhibitor of GreenPatch® cold mix asphalt.
