CONEXPO 2026 Summary

Walking the CONEXPO Show at the Las Vegas Convention Center this week was an incredible reminder of just how fast innovation is moving in construction and heavy equipment. A few highlights that stood out:

-Best technology I found on the floor: the Verifi® platform from GCP. It provides live, actionable data to manage concrete production and delivery, giving teams real visibility across the entire process and recommendations for improvement.

-Smart technology everywhere – Robots, sensors, automation, and connected equipment in nearly every hall (and outside too). The integration of data and machines is clearly shaping the future of job sites.

– Some vendors definitely brought their sense of humor to their booths — which made walking miles of exhibits a lot more fun.

-The scale of the equipment was impressive — and by impressive I mean really big machines that make you stop and stare.

– A personal favorite: the CAT equipment demo in the Festival Grounds. Seeing that power and precision in action is always a highlight.

Events like CONEXPO show how technology, data, and equipment are coming together to drive smarter, safer, and more efficient construction projects.
