ConExpo‐Con/Agg 2014 is approaching faster than you think. ConExpo‐Con/Agg 2014 will be held March 4‐8, 2014, at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, and is the global gathering place in North America every three years for the construction and construction‐materials industries. Here are some of the show developments: Rock Products Named VIP Publication Mining Media International is pleased to announce that the Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) has awarded Rock Products its exclusive "Top Level VIP" supporting publi‐ cation status for the ConExpo‐Con/Agg 2014 show in Las Vegas. This designation is only given to publications that are able to provide the wide audience and extensive targeted con‐ tent that is critical to the success of the show. Mining Media International, in addition to Rock Products, also publishes Cement Americas, Concrete Products, Quarry Equipment Marketplace, C&D; World, Coal Age, Engineering & Mining Journal, Equipo Minero and other industry leading publica‐ tions, as well as conferences such as Haulage and Loading, Longwall, Frac Sand Insider Conference and Automation & Energy Conference. "We are proud that our extended family of mining and con‐ struction‐materials magazines qualify us for Top Level VIP status," said company President Peter Johnson. "Not all aggre‐ gates industry magazines qualified for this exclusive level of support. We are able to provide the show with a vital platform for promoting its many facets, giving greater visibility to the exhibitors that drive the show's success." In addition to its presence at booth 52893 in the Central Hall, Rock Products will distribute a special VIP Show Guide from a high‐traffic contact point that Rock Products has secured for the show by virtue of it achieving "Top Level VIP" supporting‐ publication status. Mining Media International and Rock Products also has a series of additional features and special events planned for the March 2014 show. 16 ROCKproducts • JULY 2013 New Demolition & Recycling Pavilion ConExpo‐Con/Agg 2014 announced a new Demolition & Re‐ cycling Exhibits Pavilion that will showcase products specific to C&D; recyclers and demolition contractors. The Construc‐ tion & Demolition Recycling Association (CDRA) is a pavilion sponsor. "Recycling is an important facet of our industries; more demo‐ lition contractors are attending the show and this pavilion is one way CDRA serves industry needs," stated Megan Tanel, ConExpo‐Con/Agg 2014 show director and AEM vice presi‐ dent exhibitions and events. Also new, the Platinum Lot exhibit area, combined with a re‐ configured show footprint and better defined product concen‐ tration areas, will make it easier for attendees and exhibitors to connect with the people and companies they want to see. ConExpo‐Con/Agg 2014 will also feature a new "exhibit suites" option as an additional opportunity for targeted at‐ tendee‐exhibitor interaction. "The goal, as with all our planning, is to provide the best trade show value and create the most ROI for attendees' and ex‐ hibitors' show experience. These moves will definitely make a positive difference for 2014; attendees can search less to find what they need and spend more time with exhibitors doing business on the show floor," Tanel added. The new ConExpo‐Con/Agg 2014 show footprint consolidates outdoor exhibit space into three large exhibit areas (Gold, Sil‐ ver and Platinum Lots) to provide attendees with improved flow between the indoor and outdoor exhibit space. Attendees will also find more unified, better defined product concentra‐ tion areas to help them make the most efficient and produc‐ tive use of their time onsite, coupled with an enhanced internal shuttle system to more easily get from one show area to another. The new Platinum Lot is located across from South Hall on Swenson Drive and will feature both indoor and outdoor www.rockproducts.com
