CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026 is just a few short months away, and North America’s largest construction trade show is set to provide a uniquely valuable forum for highlighting the people and innovations behind the modern-day construction industry.
In a newly released video from POLITICO Focus, AEM President and CEO Megan Tanel and several AEM member company executives outline the industry’s economic footprint, challenges facing construction today, as well as how the industry has evolved in recent years. As AEM continues to count down the months and weeks until CONEXPO-CON/AGG, Tanel also highlighted the trade show’s important role in bringing together leaders in the construction industry, policymakers, and other thought leaders. Watch the video here or below:
The video is featured in “Building America’s Promise,” a new digital content hub sponsored by CONEXPO-CON/AGG and AEM. “Building America’s Promise” marks the second partnership between CONEXPO-CON/AGG and POLITICO this year. In May, CONEXPO-CON/AGG sponsored the POLITICO Live event, “Manufacturing in America: Navigating the Administration’s New Roadmap.” The event’s featured speakers included AEM Board of Directors Vice Chair and Caterpillar Senior Vice President Philip Kelliher, members of Congress, and former administration officials, who discussed the policies and trends impacting manufacturers and the construction industry.
