Scenes from World of Concrete 2017 – The Greatest Concrete Show on Earth, Vol. 1

Feb. 3, 2017

The World of Concrete, an international trade show for the concrete, masonry and construction industries, drew 50,770 registered professionals and featured more than 1,455 companies exhibiting on more than 680,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor exhibit space at the Las Vegas Convention Center last month. Although some exhibitors said that this year’s show was a bit sparser than some past years because the ConExpo-Con/Agg show will be held in March and draws a similar audience, the show was still well attended and featured new product launches from many exhibitors.

Here are a few scenes from World of Concrete 2017.
