In 1909, the first Conexpo was held in Columbus, Ohio, and the first Con/Agg was held in Detroit, Michigan in 1928. In 1996 the two shows merged, creating Conexpo-Con/Agg. The first joint show was held in 1996 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Conexpo-Con/Agg has gone on to become the Western Hemisphere's largest show for the construction and construction materials industries.[4]
