The upcoming CONEXPO/CON-AGG 2026 in Las Vegas is the single most important event where you can find real solutions to parts challenges. This isn’t just a chance to see shiny new equipment; it’s an opportunity to discover technologies, strategies, and partners that will keep your business profitable for years to come. In this guide, we’ll help you navigate the show floor to find what truly matters for your heavy equipment fleet and show you how FridayParts is your key partner in that mission.
Overview of the CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026
CONEXPO/CON-AGG is one of the largest North American trade shows for construction and aggregates-related equipment, components, and jobsite solutions—highly relevant to anyone operating off-road machinery such as excavators, dozers, loaders, graders, compactors, and tracked carriers.
Here are the key details many owners search for:
- Show: CONEXPO/CON-AGG 2026
- Dates: March 3–7, 2026
- Venue: Las Vegas Convention Center, 3150 Paradise Rd, Las Vegas, NV 89109
- Hours: Tue–Fri 9:00 AM–5:00 PM, Sat 9:00 AM–3:00 PM
We recommend planning around your “maintenance calendar,” not just the show map. If your peak season starts soon after March, the best outcome is to leave with parts and service decisions that prevent failures before they reach production.
Must-See CONEXPO/CON-AGG Highlights
It’s easy to get pulled toward the biggest iron on the floor. But for owners, the biggest ROI often comes from the less flashy areas: components, service tools, diagnostics, and wear parts. Below are the highlights to prioritize, with the off-road lens on.
1. Connect with technical experts
The fastest way to waste time at a trade show is to ask vague questions like “What’s new?” The fastest way to gain value is to bring machine-specific questions that lead to clear actions.
2. “Test and compare” with your jobsite in mind
A show makes side-by-side comparisons easier than online browsing. That’s useful, but only if we compare using the jobsite reality:
- Track vs. tire decisions are tied to ground conditions and travel distance
- Cooling package capacity for hot climates and high-idle work
- Protection and guarding for demolition, quarry, forestry, or scrap handling
- Service access: filter placement, grease points, and daily checks
Tip: Take structured notes so “cool demo” turns into a decision.
3. Training sessions that reduce repeat failures
A big show typically includes many expert-led sessions. For owners, the best sessions are the ones that reduce repeat repairs and improve troubleshooting speed.
Topics that tend to pay back quickly for off-road fleets:
- Hydraulic contamination control and sampling routines
- Undercarriage wear patterns and daily checks
- Cooling system inspection for high-dust sites
- Diesel aftertreatment basics (DPF/SCR) and how fueling issues show up
- Electrical troubleshooting for vibration-heavy equipment environments
Even one session can help us avoid parts swapping and shorten diagnosis time.
4. Parts, components, and wear items: the “hidden” center of ROI
Off-road machinery uptime often comes down to a few part categories that don’t get attention until they fail. At CONEXPO/CON-AGG, spend time with component and parts suppliers—not only machine OEM displays—so we can compare options and lead times.
High-impact categories to prioritize:
- Filtration (fuel, hydraulic, air): correct micron ratings and severe-duty intervals
- Undercarriage wear items (rollers, idlers, sprockets, track chains, pads)
- Hydraulic wear parts and seal solutions (hose routing, abrasion protection, fittings)
- Cooling system parts (hoses, clamps, water pump, fan drives)
- Engine and fuel delivery components (pumps, injectors, sensors—platform dependent)
5) Technology solutions that improve uptime
Shows are full of “smart” tools. For owners, the best tools are the ones that reduce downtime now, not “someday.”
Look for solutions that help with:
- Maintenance reminders and inspection checklists
- Fault code reading and basic health indicators
- Service history tracking across machines
- Operator behavior flags (extended high idle, overheating events)
Rule we use: If a tool doesn’t save time in diagnosis, ordering, or repair scheduling, it’s not a priority.
