Plan your New Orleans visit
World of Asphalt and AGG1 run together, making it possible to compare paving and aggregates equipment during the same trip. Commodity Classic and The ARA Show take place on separate dates. At The ARA Show, education starts before the trade show opens. Check the relevant organizer schedule before booking.
Who this guide is for: Paving contractors, aggregates producers, rental businesses and agricultural decision-makers.
This is a selected industrial calendar, not a complete events directory. Confirm admission, exhibit hours and any schedule changes with the organizer before arranging travel.
How to choose and prepare for a show
Separate paving, aggregates, rental and crop priorities
Use the event focus to create the supplier shortlist. A paving team needs a process discussion; a rental business also needs utilization, service and turnaround questions; a farm team needs a brief tied to its crops and operating conditions.
Plan co-located shows deliberately
When visiting World of Asphalt and AGG1 together, allocate meetings across both exhibitor lists. Check admission arrangements and education times instead of assuming every activity is covered by the same badge.
Build a comparable equipment record
Record the application, demonstrated setup, service needs and outstanding technical questions for each option. Keep supplier claims tied to the conditions discussed so colleagues can compare proposals after the trip.
