ConExpo-Con/Agg 2008 was even better than advertised. The largest trade show in our industry broke records for attendance, and exhibitors we spoke with were thrilled with the event. The halls were packed with buyers (except for the useless final day), and one company official told us they received 100 solid sales leads the first morning of the show. Our staff noticed it, too. There is no denying it was the most successful ConExpo we've attended. What does that say about recession? Nothing really. Residential building is still hurting, and the overall economy might be headed for a recession - or in one already. But buoyed by nonresidential building and nonbuilding construction, our industry is doing well.
