A statement from the show organisers said, “the next ConExpo Russia will be delayed until 2010 to allow the economy to improve, which will help generate even greater benefits for attendees, manufacturers and exhibitors. The next ConExpo Russia is now scheduled for May 19-22. It will be held at the Transport-Exhibition Complex (TEC) next to the Zhukovsky Airport, Moscow, Russia.”

GAZ Group’s Natalia Alexeeva, chairman of the ConExpo Russia management committee, said, “The ConExpo Russia management committee has wisely decided to look for the maximum benefits for attendees, manufacturers and exhibitors in the next show. The decision to hold the next ConExpo Russia in 2010 instead of in 2009 demonstrates our strong commitment to looking for the best way to offer a superior show experience in the most cost-efficient manner. Those involved in planning the next ConExpo Russia see the greatest benefit resulting from this decision.”
