OVERVIEW
OVERVIEW
World of Concrete is a leading trade show dedicated to concrete construction, masonry systems, aggregates, and heavy-duty jobsite equipment. Held annually at the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC), the event spans multiple halls where manufacturers showcase concrete tools, batching systems, surface preparation machinery, structural formwork, and industrial-grade building technology. The show floor environment is equipment-dense and operationally intensive, requiring practical booth layouts designed for durability, safety, and controlled product demonstrations.
Exhibiting at World of Concrete differs significantly from consumer-focused trade shows. Many exhibitors display heavy machinery, palletized materials, reinforced shelving systems, and rugged flooring setups that must support the weight of concrete tools and masonry equipment. Larger inline and island configurations—such as 20×30 construction trade show booths—are often selected to accommodate product staging areas, demo zones, and forklift-accessible loading paths within LVCC’s freight-controlled halls.
Across LVCC exhibition spaces, exhibitors must coordinate precise freight windows, drayage/material handling procedures, and Nevada union labor regulations—especially when booths include heavy equipment placement, reinforced flooring platforms, or repeated restocking cycles throughout the event. For brands planning machinery-focused environments, our booth fabrication and prebuild checks ensure structural integrity, sequencing validation, and weight-bearing compliance prior to move-in.
As a Las Vegas–based exhibit builder, Circle Exhibit supports World of Concrete exhibitors with custom design, engineering, and on-site installation aligned to heavy freight coordination, union labor scheduling, and material handling workflows—see our Las Vegas trade show booth builder page for local execution considerations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What booth setups are common at World of Concrete?

Common setups include equipment-dense islands and material demo zones—for example, a reinforced platform for tooling displays, a wall system for masonry/finishes samples, and a clean aisle-facing counter for spec discussions. If you’re showing heavy or dense items (e.g., mixing components, saws, anchors, rebar samples), build the layout around load-bearing areas and safe viewing distances.
Do exhibitors need special planning for heavy equipment displays?

Yes—heavy or dense displays require early planning for weight distribution, floor protection, and rigging/handling constraints. Treat anything on pallets (e.g., bagged materials, equipment parts, sample crates) as a drayage-first workflow: confirm crate sizes, pallet count, and on-site handling equipment so your demo area can be installed without last-minute repositioning.
What are the most important logistics factors for World of Concrete in Las Vegas?

At Las Vegas Convention Center, the key factors are drayage staging, dock timing, and install sequencing for bulky materials. Plan a build order that gets the structural base and platforms set first, then bring in equipment/samples, and finish with graphics and lighting—this reduces rework when handling palletized product, heavy demo tools, or reinforced display structures.
