Conexpo visitor numbers were down this year but exhibitors and attendees alike declared it a successful event.
There were 110,00 registered visitors, according to the organisers, which is actually a decline from 1999’s 124,000 visitors even though this time around there was the additional attraction of the International Fluid Power Exhibition running concurrently.
Regardless of the actual numbers, the crane exhibitors seemed to agree that the attendance on their stands at Conexpo was not just good considering the downturn in the economy, but the best they had ever known. And the ‘quality’ of the visitors was good, meaning that there was a high proportion of potential customer.
Conexpo is held once every three years in Las Vegas and is North America’s premier construction equipment exhibition.
Full report on Conexpo 2002 is in the April issue of Cranes Today.
