Why Exhibit?

The Utility Expo is the #1 utility construction trade show in North America, bringing together more than 22,600+ industry professionals, and 1,000+ industry-leading manufacturers over 1.5 million square feet of exhibit space. As one of the largest trade shows in the U.S., The Utility Expo’s popularity is attributed to equipment test drives and interactive product demonstrations.

Connect facetoface with asset managers, fleet and equipment leaders, procurement teams, and operations supervisors responsible for getting the work done. These are decisionmakers actively evaluating equipment, tools, and technology for real projects, real budgets, and real operating environments.
