14 FEBRUARY 2015 WorldWide Drilling Resource ® Exciting Changes for ICUEE 2015! Adapted from Information from the Association of Equipment Manufacturers The International Construction and Utility Equipment Exposition (ICUEE) Demo Expo 2015 plans to offer attendees more product demonstration opportuni- ties, and more new products. The new navigation and transportation features are sure to enhance the show experience. The next ICUEE event will be held September 29 - October 1, 2015, at the Kentucky Exposition Center in Louisville, Kentucky. The 2015 event is expected to be the largest ever with the number of exhibitors and products on display. “Besides the test-drives, one of the best things about ICUEE, attendees tell us, is the sheer number of suppliers and new products, with 850-plus exhibitors and an exhibit footprint of 20 football fields,” stated Show Director Sara Truesdale Mooney. Some 98% of attendees at the 2013 ICUEE event said the show value was good to excellent, and organizers con- tinually strive to deliver the highest qual- ity event. Some of the improvements made for this year’s event include: • Better defined product concen- tration areas, and, for the first time, indoor exhibits organized by prod- uct categories. • New “Demo Express” direct shut- tles to outdoor Lots K and L from indoor exhibits, in addition to en- hanced intrashow trams and new golf cart shuttles. • A new “Fuel Station” in Area Q - a place to sit down, relax, and network with others. This area includes Wi-Fi, charging stations, beverages, and show information. • Additional seating and restrooms throughout the show. • Additional information booths and helpful staff stationed throughout the show to assist attendees. • Improved show maps, distributed preshow and on-site. In addition to the hands-on Ride and Drive track, attendees will be able to take advantage of expert education developed by leading industry organizations. ICUEE 2015 will cover 25 acres of indoor and outdoor exhibit space. It is the leading event for utilities and contractors featuring live demonstrations and best practices for utility construction, main- tenance, and rehabilitation projects. Manufacturers and service providers showcase and demonstrate their prod- ucts in job-like conditions for the elec- tric, natural gas, water/wastewater, and telecom/cable industry sectors.
