ConExpo Provides International Exposure for SEAA

The Steel Erectors Association of America (SEAA) attended its first ConExpo-Con/Agg show last
week in Las Vegas, Nev. Despite the decision by show organizer Association of Equipment
Manufacturers (AEM) to close the show a day early due to uncertainty over COVID-19,
registration for the event totaled more than 130,000.

SEAA’s experience was a positive one. “In spite of the recent health crisis, we were able to
make great connections with industry professionals and SEAA member companies,” said Tom
Underhill, Executive Director of SEAA. “Participation gave SEAA exposure to an international
construction audience.”

Drew Heron, Project Manager for Empire Steel, who volunteered at SEAA’s booth, said: “The
show is so much bigger than one could ever imagine. You have the opportunity to see so many
new tools, products and technologies that could really benefit the industry and SEAA member
companies,” said Heron. “AEM is to be commended for the way they handled the unprecedent
situation with the pandemic. In true Vegas fashion, the show must go on!”
