World of Concrete's 46th edition drew tens of thousands of industry professionals, featuring more than 650 exhibiting companies across under 300,000 net square feet of exhibit space.
A statement available onWorld of Concrete‘swebsitesays the arrival of the event signals the return of meetings and conventions to Las Vegas.
TheLas Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority debuted the Las Vegas Convention Center’s (LVCC) $1 billion, 1.4 million square foot West Hall expansion with a ribbon cutting ceremony, followed by doors opening to the Informa Markets event.
The addition of the West Hall brings the total square feet of meeting space in the destination to 14 million.
Nan Walsh, president, North America at Informa Markets, says: “There is an unparalleled magic about in-person connection—from sharing laughs with old friends, creating new ones, learning from industry experts, and seeing and feeling the latest products and innovations. We are so happy to be the first large-scale trade show to return to the show floor in the US, and the first to use the Las Vegas Convention Center’s incredible new West Hall, and through that partnership I believe we are signalling a return to business and connection that is needed now more than ever.”
Jackie James, group director at World of Concrete, says: “World of Concrete is grateful for the support of all the participating exhibitors and attendees who braved the heat of a June event and paved the way for an even larger and stronger return in January 2022. We would like to thank them along with our cosponsoring associations and media partners who supported this endeavour throughout a very challenging 15 months leading up to this important industry event.”
World of Concrete 2022 will take place from the 18-20 January at the LVCC.
