Exhibitor GreenPatch Claims Major Success from 2014 CONEXPO Trade
Show's Record Popularity
LAS VEGAS, April 8, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Compared to all construction
trade shows nationwide, New York's GreenPatch@ focused most of its
marketing around the CONEXPO-CON/AGG & IFPE show because of its proven
ROI and its success in attracting record numbers in attendance,
exhibitors and new product showcases. This year's event broke most of
its own records by delivering over 1000 new product innovations and
construction technologies to nearly 130,000 in ticket sales from over
170 countries. "The enthusiasm on the show floor was just incredible.
Exhibitors cited the high quality of attendees; these were serious
buyers and reported robust sales to customers that exceeded their
expectations," stated Megan Tanel, CONEXPO-CONAGG show director.

The exodus of spectators and exhibitors held a common feeling of
confidence in the show as an indicator of the industry's economic
heath. "We are constantly impressed by what the expo has to offer the
construction field," states Dario Amicucci of Cold Mix Manufacturing.
"But this year topped it all with some of the most amazing innovations
in equipment, environmental advancements and technological upgrades!"
Both shows set new records for exhibit space and number of exhibitors,
CONEXPO-CON/AGG with more than 2.35 million net square feet of exhibit
space and more than 2,000 exhibitors, and IFPE with more than 161,000
net square feet and 400 exhibitors. CONEXPO-CON/AGG & IFPE 2014
maintained the growing international scope of the shows with
registrations totaling more than 31,000, or an increase of nine
percent from the most recent events. The number of countries
represented increased to 170 from 159 in 2011, and the number of
international attendees matched the record 24 percent of total
attendance set in 2011. International attendance drew heavily from
Latin America, China, Canada, and Europe.
Aside from its major exhibits, the CONEXPO/CONAGG show is also
recognized in the industry for its educational programs - setting a
new record of over 41,000 ticket sales for seminars on safety, new
technology and group presentations. "The Expo has (also) become the
complete resource for the construction business professional. their
educational pavilions bring continued updates on current policies,
methods and business practices- and they teach you how to stay ahead
of the game," touts Bill Outlaw, regional mid-Atlantic sales rep and
