Directions. Information. Ideas.

The Show Daily is where show attendees look first for information on where to find exhibiting companies, schedules of events, and the latest about what's going on at the Show. At the 2005 Show nearly 7 out of every 10 attendees used the Show Daily for news and information.* For 2008, the Show Daily will deliver even more.

More live stories - 80% more than in the past. Providing more of what's happening at the show will generate greater interest and attention from attendees. Each issue of the Show Daily will deliver information that is critical to maximize the show experience of attendees such as:

  • Easy-to-read maps of the show floor
  • Exhibitor lists
  • Products at the show
  • Show news, events and highlights
  • Seminar and technical conference schedules
  • Association meeting information and updates

Plus, a complete listing of information to further enhance the show experience like news on evening events, attractions, maps of the city and information about restaurants and clubs.

Special Features in the 2008 Show Daily

The Show Daily will deliver the information that attendees look for to enhance their show experience. Plus, it will offer unique features that will give it lasting take-home value:

Construction Enriches Our Lives

This series of feature articles will focus on the quality of life that construction has helped bring to this country. It's a compelling story that is rarely seen in today's consumer media. In the 2008 Show Daily, show attendees will read feature articles on several of the projects that helped enrich the quality of life in America. Readers will get the complete story on what the situation was like before the project was started and what it has meant to the country since the work has been completed. During the same time these projects were changing the quality of life in America, the development of new components for whole goods was helping to significantly enhance the productivity of existing equipment or enabling entirely new products to be introduced. This information will be presented within the project story or as a sidebar within the story. These stories will appear in every Show Daily edition.

On the Road for 99 Years

The 2008 Show will be the 99th Anniversary of the first CONEXPO-CON/AGG which was originally called the Road Show. To celebrate this anniversary, we will be asking exhibitors to send in pictures of the equipment and products they had on display at their first exhibition at CONEXPO-CON/AGG and IFPE along with the current version of that equipment. It will be very interesting to see how capacity and efficiency has changed in some equipment in as little as 18 years or as many as 99.

IFPE Coverage

Every issue of the Show Daily will have a special section of 10 or more pages dedicated to reporting on the unique events of IFPE. These stories along with special features and coverage of seminars will be prominently promoted on the cover of each Show Daily so they are easy to find and read.

Tell Attendees Why They Should Visit Your Display

The Show Daily will be distributed at the entrances of CONEXPO-CON/AGG and IFPE, on the Show floor, at major hotels and on the buses bringing attendees to the Show. It will also be aggressively promoted to Show attendees through Cygnus publications and e-newsletters. Everyone coming to the Show will know that the Show Daily will be the place to start.

There are four editions of the Show Daily. Only exhibiting companies will be allowed to advertise in the publication. All advertisers will appear in all four editions. Rates are for one ad in each issue - a total of four advertisements, one in each issue of the Show Daily.
