Citing new travel rules, construction expo to end 1 day early
Citing the travel restrictions announced Wednesday by President Donald Trump, the 2020 ConExpo-Con/Ag construction equipment show will conclude Friday night, one day earlier than scheduled.
“Due to the growing concerns about COVID-19, the travel restrictions put in place by the President and changing corporate travel policies that impact many of our attendees and exhibitors, we have made the decision to close CONEXPO-CON/AGG & IFPE one day early, closing on Friday, March 13 at 5 p.m.,” the statement on the show’s website said.
The show, which is held every three years, is at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
In February, organizers said registration was on course to exceed 130,000 attendees. Final numbers won’t be available until the final day, but a spokeswoman said Tuesday that this year’s registrations have outpaced 2017’s.
