The Pit & Quarry team traveled to Chicago this summer for a ConExpo-Con/Agg meeting that offered more than 300 exhibitors the chance to capture the latest exhibiting best practices ahead of the March 2026 trade show. Among the manufacturers in attendance was Polydeck, with Trey Rollins (left), director of marketing and inside sales, and Demi Varner, manager of marketing events and communications, representing the company.
From left: Superior Industries’ Kristen Randall, Corey Poppe, Mary Erholtz and Carlie Van’t Hof were also in attendance at the exhibitor meeting. Erholtz says Superior plans to showcase its conveyor parts and accessories, and it will reveal a new crusher at ConExpo-Con/Agg, which is slated to run March 3-7 in Las Vegas.
Yet another manufacturer represented at the meeting was Eagle Crusher Co. Daniel Friedman (left), vice president of marketing, and Sydney Princehorn, senior marketing coordinator, were on hand. The ConExpo-Con/Agg exhibitor meeting offered attendees expert-led sessions, a customer panel and other touchpoints that supported their show planning.
Wirtgen Group and Kleemann had a presence at the Chicago meeting, as well. In attendance were Amy Bush (left), marketing coordinator, and Matt Graves, director of marketing communications. Graves was one of several attendees who visited with P&Q on camera during the meeting, sharing his thoughts on ConExpo-Con/Agg 2026 and the current state of the aggregate industry.

Additionally, Anna Semonco (left), director of business development and marketing, and Carrie Moore, marketing coordinator, were in Chicago representing Conn-Weld Industries. Semonco says ConExpo-Con/Agg attendees can expect to see the company’s full vibrating screen and screen media lines – as well as a surprise – at its booth next March.
