World of Concrete–We will be attending will you? World of Concrete (WOC) will return to the Las Vegas Convention Center January 20–22, 2026, with education beginning a day earlier on January 19. The event will utilize the North, Central, and South Halls for indoor exhibits and the Silver and Bronze Lots for outdoor exhibits and events.
Last year’s edition drew nearly 58,000 registered professionals and over 1,500 exhibitors to more than three-quarters of a million square feet of exhibit space, making WOC 2025 one of the most successful in the show’s history. For 2026, organizers are promising an even bigger stage for innovation, training, and connection — cementing its reputation as the must-attend global gathering for the trades that construct the world around us.
