N.Y.S. Highway & Public Works Expo Sets Attendance Record

CEG - November 2023

A tradition since 1994, the 29th annual N.Y.S. Highway & Public Works Expo was held Oct. 18, 2023, at the NYS Fairgrounds Expo Center in Syracuse. Breaking all previous attendance records, 1,400 representatives of highway departments, public works officials, DOT officials, as well as managers of parks and recreation facilities and road maintenance contractors enjoyed the show. Exhibitors included manufacturers and distributors of roadbuilding, earthmoving and highway maintenance equipment, as well as every item highway superintendents could ever need to maintain the various properties and facilities that fall under their domain.

With the overwhelming success of this year's show, exhibit space at next year's event is sure to be in short supply, so make your plans now by contacting Teddy McKeon at 215/260-8709 or tmckeonjr@cegltd.com; or Kent Hogeboom at 518/221-5159 or khogeboom@cegltd.com; or log on to www.superintendentsprofile.com/nys-expo. The N.Y.S. Highway & Public Works Expo is solely owned and produced by the Superintendent's Profile, a monthly trade publication that has proudly been serving the New York State highway and public works industry since 1976.
