Last checked: October 2026
CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026 ran March 3 to 7 at the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC), its outdoor lots, and the Las Vegas Festival Grounds. Held every three years, the show returns to the LVCC for its 2029 edition, March 13 to 17. The 2026 height rule capped the structure of a CONEXPO trade show booth but set no height limit for product and machinery.
Height limits and hanging signs
Standard exhibits, those less than 20 feet deep, were capped at 10 feet, and solid exhibit material taller than 4 feet needed a 5-foot setback. Corner and peninsula back walls facing a neighbor had to be plain finished, and standard exhibits could not place company identification or graphics on a back wall facing the neighboring exhibitor. Corner, perimeter, and peninsula spaces at least 20 feet deep and totaling 400 square feet or more, and all islands, could go to 16 feet, and multi-level areas to 20 feet. A 30-foot machine could stand in a single-level island whose back walls and ID signs stayed within that limit. All machinery and equipment had to be set back at least 6 inches from every aisle.
Hanging signs, which standard exhibits could not use, were limited to 1,500 pounds. In corner and perimeter spaces, the bottom of the sign had to clear the highest wall by at least 4 feet. LVCC hall ceilings, as building measurements, range from 25 feet in parts of South and Central Halls to 42 feet in West Hall.
Floor loads, outdoor lots, and material handling
Under the 2026 rules, the Central 3 Concourse was limited to 175 pounds per square foot. South Halls 3 and 4, on the second level of South Hall, were limited to 300. Fueled machinery could hold no more than one-quarter of tank capacity or 5 gallons, whichever was less, with at least one starting battery cable removed, and electric vehicles could not be charged indoors. On the outdoor lots, stakes had to be drilled, and tents over 400 square feet needed a Clark County permit.
The 2026 space price included the Exhibitor Material Handling Package Plan: marshaling yard check-in, up to 60 days of warehouse storage, and machinery and crate delivery to the space. Trucks that reached the marshaling yard or show site by 2 p.m. were unloaded without additional fees. Freight to and from the show was not included.
Attendees come to see new products and meet technical experts. Plan open floor around each machine for walk-around viewing and a seated area for talks with product specialists.
EACs and the 2026 deadlines
An exhibitor-appointed contractor (EAC) could handle only installation, dismantling, and preparation of display materials. Under the 2026 show rules, an EAC also needed general liability coverage of at least $1,000,000/$2,000,000 and had to pay an administrative fee for each exhibitor it represented. An EAC doing installation and dismantle (I&D) at the LVCC needs an annual LVCC EAC permit ($250), a Clark County business license, and insurance meeting the LVCVA’s current minimums: $1,000,000 each for general liability, automobile liability, and workers’ compensation. Exhibitors were expected to comply with the official contractor’s union requirements in effect at the LVCC and the Las Vegas Festival Grounds. EAC registration and certificates of insurance were due January 16, 2026.
