The AEM officers, with the association’s board, set the guidelines and operating policies of the association on behalf of its members in areas including technical and safety services, market information and equipment statistics, global public policy, trade shows, international support services, education and training, workforce development and worksite safety/ educational materials.

Among other duties, the organisation organises the ConExpo shows in Las Vegas in 2008 (11-15 March), and ConExpo Asia 2007, scheduled for 4-7 December in Guangzhou, in China’s southern Guangdong (Canton) Province.

Tellock’s direct involvement with the AEM next year suggests that Manitowoc will continue to support AEM’s new show, ConExpo Asia, as it did this year. The company is not planning to show any cranes at this month’s Bauma China, a competitor to ConExpo Asia that is organised by the German Messe Muenchen. Next year’s BICES show organised by the China Construction Machinery Co, is scheduled for 16-19 October in Beijing.
