WoC group director Jackie James says: “We have a commitment to our exhibitors and attendees to provide a valuable and productive face-to-face experience at WoC each year. This is the first time in our 46-year history we have been faced with circumstances that have caused us to reschedule the event. We feel the new June dates will provide everyone with the necessary time to plan effectively, and allows us to reimagine WoC for a different time of the year. Moving the event from Winter to late Spring this year will allow for additional outdoor activities everyone can enjoy in the great city of Las Vegas, including top-notch exhibits, new product demos, and exciting spectator events.”
WoC is an annual event for concrete and masonry professionals which attracts approximately 1,500 exhibiting companies and occupies more than 700,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor exhibit space.
The Las Vegas Convention Center has been awarded the Global Biorisk Advisory Council (GBAC) STAR facility accreditation by ISSA, the Worldwide Cleaning Industry Association.
The GBAC programme was designed to control the risks associated with infectious agents, including Covid-19.
In June, WoC will occupy the convention centre's $980 million West Hall expansion, which will add 1.4 million square feet of space to the existing 3.2 million square foot campus.
