Highlights included:

Innovations to define the next jobsite
Across the show floor, manufacturers unveiled technologies and equipment designed to define the next generation of construction jobsites, while technology innovators across the show floor demonstrated how digital solutions are transforming construction workflows, jobsite efficiency and safety on complex infrastructure and building projects.

Innovation across the industry was further recognized through the Next Level Awards. The awards spotlight equipment and technology innovations that improve productivity, sustainability and jobsite safety. Winners of the Next Level Awards program were announced during a special event on the Ground Breakers Stage. After three days of voting, show attendees selected Husco’s GenSteer as the CONEXPO-CON/AGG Contractors’ Choice for best equipment and Gravis Robotic’s Gravis Rack as the CONEXPO-CON/AGG Contractors’ Choice for best technology.

Ground Breakers Stage delivered industry thought leadership
The Ground Breakers Stage served as a hub for forward-looking conversations, drawing strong attendance for sessions on artificial intelligence, workforce development, infrastructure investment, sustainability and the evolving role of data across construction operations. Industry leaders and technology experts explored how digital transformation, manufacturing advancements and collaborative partnerships are reshaping the sector and helping companies navigate changing market dynamics.

The momentum continues beyond the show floor as the Ground Breakers Stage sessions are now available to stream on demand.

Global gathering focused on building the future
CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026 reinforced construction’s role as a driver of economic development, supporting infrastructure modernization, energy expansion, manufacturing growth and resilient communities. The show created opportunities for contractors and manufacturers to connect directly, exchange ideas and accelerate adoption of technologies that improve project outcomes.
