All Roads Lead to Las Vegas in January
Published: 21/12, 2021
Now it’s soon time for World of Concrete in Las Vegas again. In January 2022, the gates will be opened again and the show is well on its way to regaining their former figures of 1,500 exhibitors and more than 60,000 visitors.
No matter how many iterations of coronavirus-driven “new normal” we experience, one longtime industry tradition is back to its regular wintertime calendar slot—World of Concrete in Las Vegas, January 18-20, 2022.
We finally meet again and again
We all know that the show in June 2021 was quite different from what we are used to, especially since the pandemic prevented most international exhibitors and visitors from attending. Many contractors who might have come to Las Vegas were also busy with jobs and regaining traction lost during the previous year.
But despite significantly fewer exhibitors and visitors, the outcome of the show was very good. There was widespread optimism that the industry’s resilience could withstand and quickly rebound from the pandemic’s economic effects. There was also a clear will among both exhibitors and entrepreneurs to meet again as soon as possible.
And that time is now. As this issue of PDa goes to press, the new Omicron variant has cast a pall over what has been a welcome return of large gatherings and long-distance travel. For now, exhibitors that have booked space at World of Concrete 2022 are sticking with their plans to be on hand in Las Vegas. Among the 1,100 exhibitors currently registered for the show (see the accompanying list) are several big-name manufacturers that have planned several product introductions. It won’t be exactly the same as in the “before times,” as many overseas companies are still in countries in strict travel restrictions. But Omicron willing, it will be a big step in that direction.
Over 1100 exhibitors in 2022
As with the June 2021 event, World of Concrete will be implemented with strict pandemic rules to reduce the risk of spreading the infection. For example, all registration for the fair takes place online and it will not be possible to register at the fair itself. Masks will likely be encouraged indoors, though it’s unknown whether they will be required for attendees and exhibitors. Exhibits will be located in the Central, North, and new West halls, and outdoors at Diamond and Silver lots.
As an industry magazine for the sectors demolition, concrete drilling, concrete floor sanding and polishing, decontamination, and recycling, we at PDa is looking forward to World of Concrete 2022 and hope to see many familiar faces from the industry again. As usual, we’ll have plenty of copies of both this magazine and our sister publication PDi available for free pick-up. And whether or not you’re able to attend, we’ll have a complete wrap up of World of Concrete in our first issue of 2022.
Welcome to World of Concrete 2022 in Las Vegas, the city that never sleeps.
