An exhibitor talks about electrification-related technology at CONEXPO-CON/AGGAs the construction and fluid power industries accelerate toward electrification, automation, and smarter jobsite ecosystems, CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026 is shaping up to be a pivotal event and experience. 

For longtime OEM engineers, component buyers, and fleet managers who are veteran attendees of North America’s largest construction trade show, next month’s CONEXPO-CON/AGG in Las Vegas will feel very familiar in terms of its technical depth – but notably different in how component technologies connect to the broader construction industry landscape.  

“Our 2026 show is emphasizing ‘components as enablers’ of major industry megatrends – including automation, electrification, advanced hydraulics, machine controls, and telematics,” said CONEXPO-CON/AGG Show Director Dana Wuesthoff. “This strategic approach has the best interest of our attendees in mind, as it makes it easier to draw direct lines between enabling components and the machines, systems, and productivity outcomes they support.”

Component and equipment parts buyers headed to CONEXPO-CON/AGG in March will have no shortage of people, products, and technology to see in Las Vegas. In addition, they should expect a new components product concentration to spotlight fluid power, components, engines, and drivetrains together, deepening technical access for engineers and product teams.  

“Because booth arrangements can shift up until the show, the CONEXPO-CON/AGG live official floor plan remains a critical source of up-to-date information,” said Wuesthoff. “Attendees should view it by hall and level, then filter by product category or exhibitor to map out their plan.” 

Some of the top returning fluid power and component exhibitors to visit at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026 include: 

As they finalize their show arrangements, fluid power and component professionals planning to attend CONEXPO-CON/AGG should: 

  • Use the live floor plan early and often – Planning by hall/level and product category is the easiest way to make the show manageable. 
  • Download the CONEXPO-CON/AGG show map. – It’s THE on-the-go planner for schedules, maps, filters, and saved exhibitors. 
  • Come to the show with an integration mindset.” – The most valuable conversations in 2026 will focus on how components enable next-generation machines and jobsite systems – not just individual part specifications. 

“Bottom line, our core value proposition remains the same: a deep bench of fluid power, motion control, and component innovation,” said Wuesthoff. “But now we’re offering it to our valued attendees it in a more interconnected experience.”
