CONEXPO-CON/AGG
North America's largest construction trade show—held triennially by AEM in Las Vegas—featuring the latest in autonomous heavy equipment, AI construction technology, and industry innovation from 130+ countries.
Definition
CONEXPO-CON/AGG is the Association of Equipment Manufacturers' triennial mega-event and North America's largest construction trade show, drawing 130,000+ attendees from 130+ countries and featuring 2,400+ exhibitors. The 2026 edition featured one of the most significant AI and autonomy showcases in event history: Caterpillar unveiled expanded autonomous machine portfolio including excavators; Gravis Robotics won the Next Level Award for adaptive AI excavator systems; Komatsu demonstrated IMC 3.0 semi-autonomous machine control; and Bedrock Robotics showed its retrofit autonomy kit for 20-80 ton excavators. Beyond heavy equipment autonomy, CONEXPO 2026 showcased AI-powered site management platforms, autonomous concrete placing systems, and connected construction technology. The Technology Experience pavilion has grown to become one of the event's most-visited areas. CONEXPO is scheduled on a triennial cycle: after 2026, the next event will be CONEXPO 2029.
