Gold Rush's Turin to Speak at CONEXPO

Dave Turin, well known host of shows like the Discovery Channel's "Gold Rush" and "Dave Turin's Lost Mine," will be at CONEXPO to talk about construction, mining and his life. He will be headlining the conversation with Aaron Witt of BuildWitt at the CONEXPO Community Zone, an area in the Festival Lot where contractors can network, and participate in events. The show takes place March 14-18 in Las Vegas. 

“It’s good to come back to CONEXPO-CON/AGG,” Turin said. “I learn so much every time I come, and I’m proud to lend my own experience and story to the thousands of construction pros that come each time.”

Turin last joined Witt at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2020 for an episode of the BuildWitt podcast. This time, they’ll open the Community Zone with an enthusiastic, informative, and entertaining talk, followed by a question-and-answer session open to everyone at the show.

“Dave is such a great voice for the construction and mining industries,” Witt said. “His story, having grown up in his family’s quarry business, and then turning to full-time mining, and all the equipment involved in both businesses, has given him a lot of unique experience I can’t wait to help share at CONEXPO-CON/AGG this year.”

Turin and Witt will be in the Community Zone on March 14 from 1-2 p.m.

“The Community Zone is the kind of area attendees have been asking for,” said CONEXPO-CON/AGG Show Director Dana Wuesthoff. “It’s a place for construction pros to recharge their devices and recharge themselves, all while still being able to continue learning and enjoying their experience at CONEXPO-CON/AGG.”

In addition to Turin and Witt, the Dirt Bags Podcast hosts Luke Eggebraaten and Luke Payne will join the Association of Equipment Manufacturers’ (AEM) John Somers for “Drinks with Dirt Bags” on March 16, from 3:30-4:30 p.m.

Cojali USA will host a talk on “Overcoming Off-Highway Repairs: The Future of Maintenance” on March 17 from 3-3:45 p.m.

Everyday at the CONEXPO-CON/AGG Community Zone will feature live music, influencer meetups, a concession area to purchase snacks or beverages and simply a spot where attendees can take a moment to relax and recharge.
