PQ Show Floor

Welcome to PQ Show Floor, the planning site for the aggregates industry at ConExpo-Con/Agg 2008. The show takes place March 11-15, 2008 in Las Vegas. ConExpo-Con/Agg is the largest trade show of any kind in the Western Hemisphere, and if you've attended in the past, you know that planning ahead can save you valuable time and energy. With 2.2 million sq. ft. of exhibit space and more than 2,000 exhibitors, it's important to know who you want to visit and where they're located before you even get there. PQ Show Floor allows you to see what the top aggregates equipment manufacturers plan to exhibit, and provides booth location information.
