First-Timer Tips for CONEXPO

Exhibiting at CONEXPO for the first time? Here's what you need to know about staffing the world's largest construction show.

CONEXPO is Massive

With 2.5M+ sq ft of exhibits across indoor halls and outdoor demo areas, this is one of the world's largest trade shows. Plan staff logistics carefully.

Indoor + Outdoor Coverage

The Festival Grounds and Gold Lot host live equipment demos. You may need separate teams for indoor booths and outdoor areas.

Weather Varies in March

Las Vegas March weather ranges from 50-70°F. Outdoor staff need layers, comfortable footwear, and sun protection.

Book Full 5 Days

Most exhibitors need staff for all 5 show days. The best talent commits to full-week bookings—single days are harder to fill.

International Audience

CONEXPO draws attendees from 150+ countries. Spanish, Portuguese, and German speakers are valuable for equipment manufacturers.

Early Setup Required

Large exhibits start setup a week before opening. Budget for I&D staff and early booth orientation if you have complex displays.

Common CONEXPO Staffing Mistakes

Avoid these errors that exhibitors make when staffing their CONEXPO booth and outdoor demos.

Underestimating Show Scale

CONEXPO is 2.5M+ sq ft. Staff get exhausted covering massive booth spaces. Plan adequate headcount and breaks.

Ignoring Outdoor Demo Areas

The Festival Grounds require different staffing than indoor booths. Outdoor staff need appropriate attire and safety awareness.

Single-Day Commitments

Offering one day to staff makes you less attractive than 5-day bookings. Premium talent wants full-week commitments.

No Product Training

Construction equipment is complex. Even experienced trade show staff need training on your specific products.

Forgetting Latin American Markets

CONEXPO has significant Latin American attendance. Not having Spanish/Portuguese speakers limits your reach.

Booking Too Late

CONEXPO happens every 3 years—exhibitors plan far ahead. Experienced staff book 4-6 months out.

How far in advance should I book CONEXPO staff?

We recommend booking 4-6 months in advance. CONEXPO happens every 3 years, so experienced exhibitors plan early. Top talent commits to full-week bookings months ahead. Last-minute staffing (under 30 days) has limited availability and premium pricing.
