The 2009 International Construction and Utility Equipment Exposition (ICUEE) will feature the co-location of the new H2O-XPO exhibition, targeting water and wastewater utility equipment and products. H2O-XPO is sponsored by the National Rural Water Association (NRWA).

Both events will be held October 6-8, 2009 at the Kentucky Exposition Center (KEC) in Louisville, Kentucky. NRWA will also hold its annual conference in conjunction with ICUEE 2009 and H2O-XPO 2009.

The co-location is the result of partnering efforts between NRWA and the Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM), which owns and produces ICUEE. The goal is to provide increased efficiencies for participants in both events, to maximize the return on their trade show investment.

The co-located shows will provide expanded educational and networking opportunities. Attendees will have access to a broader spectrum of exhibiting companies and products, and exhibitors will have increased exposure to the water and wastewater utility segment. ICUEE 2009 and

H2O-XPO 2009 are expected to attract 25,000 attendees, and will be the gathering place for industry professionals with electric, phone and cable, sewer and water, gas, general construction, landscaping and public works jobs.
