The 2009 Congress exhibit floor is your once-a-year chance to meet the people with real solutions to your everyday challenges! Exhibitors will be on hand to demonstrate the latest and greatest and tried-and-true public works equipment and solutions. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes, bring plenty of business cards and come prepared to comparison shop. Visit the 2009 Congress website for a complete list of exhibiting companies.

Exhibitor Showcase PresentationsExhibiting companies will present sessions uniquely designed to give you cutting-edge information on products or services addressing the needs of the public works industry. These 45-minute presentations will take place in the exhibit hall. Another great learning opportunity designed just for you.

Interested in Exhibiting?There is still time to reserve booth space for 2009.

Money for public works projects is a major part of the stimulus package passed by Congress, funding thousands of new infrastructure projects, including: roads, bridges, sewers, public transportation, sidewalks, stormwater and water projects. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act not only invests in infrastructure, but does so with a major once-in-a-generation investment on the scale of the Interstate Highway Program 50 years ago.

An American Public Works Association survey in November 2008 identified more than 3,600 unfunded local public works infrastructure projects totaling more than $15 billion that are ready to go NOW.

Don’t miss your chance to get in on these projects by meeting face-to-face with public works professionals! Reserve your space today to talk with the professionals responsible for implementing and executing this multi-billion-dollar infrastructure investment.
