ICUEE-The Demo Expo has won a pair of “Fastest 50” honors from Trade Show Executive Magazine.
The show, held every two years in Louisville, Ky., was honored in the categories for attendance and number of visitors, said a news release from the Association of Equipment Manufacturers, which owns and organizes ICUEE, which stands for International Construction & Utility Equipment Exposition.
“Trade shows continue to serve as a critical venue to effectively connect buyers and sellers; our growth reflects our focus on providing quality events for attendees and exhibitors that deliver real business results and a memorable show experience,” the release quoted Megan Tanel, AEM senior vice-president of exhibitions and events. “We have a tremendous team and these awards are a direct result of their superior customer service.”
Winners will be celebrated at the Fastest 50 Awards and Summit in Las Vegas this May, according to the magazine’s website.
The next ICUEE takes place Oct. 3-5, 2017 at the Kentucky Exposition Center in Louisville.
Two other AEM-affiliated shows were also honored. The World of Asphalt Show & Conference — which AEM co-owns — also won in the attendance and number of visitors categories. AGG1 Academy & Expo, which co-located with World of Asphalt, won in both those categories as well as the exhibit space category.
The NTEA’s Work Truck Show, meanwhile, has won a “Fast Trackers” award for total attendance. Fast Trackers were not fast enough to crack the top 50 “but are considered strong contenders for next year,” says a posting on the magazine’s website.
