NHG Expo Chooses ConvExx to Manage Scafform Global Expo

August 3, 2017

New Horizons Global Exhibitions is gearing up to launch Scafform Global Expo, set for Nov 7-9 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.

The inaugural event will be held side by side with the new Hydropower & Dams Global Expo and will be managed by ConvExx, a Las Vegas-based, independent trade show management company.

NHG Expo acquired the U.S. and international rights to produce the shows from Istanbul-based DEMOS Exhibitions, producer and owner of trade shows and fairs for Turkey’s construction, geothermal and 3D printing industries, which include the biannual International Scaffolding and Formwork Exhibition (aka Scafform Expo), DOOR, Tunnel Expo, Dams and Hydroelectric Plant Fair, EXPO GEOTHERMAL, 3D Print Expo and Rental Expo.  

In searching for a show management company to run the new show in Las Vegas, the NHG team connected with ConvExx, producer of some of the city’s largest annual trade shows, including the SHOT Show, Mobile Tech Expo and Las Vegas BikeFest.

“We looked for an expert in trade show management, marketing and connections in Las Vegas and met the ConvExx team,” explained Huseyin Aslan, NHG Expo managing director. “We believe the company has the team that will help us build our well-known global brand in the U.S., as well.”

Scafform Global Expo is anticipated to occupy more than 200,000 square feet of exhibit space and attract approximately 10,000-15,000 attendees from across the globe.

The new event will feature manufacturers and service providers of scaffolding and formwork equipment, as well as educational content, demonstrations and an outside display area.

“We are excited to be named as show manager for this trade show,” said Chuck Schwartz, ConvExx chairman.

He continued, “While there are other shows in the construction industry, this will be the first show dedicated exclusively to scaffolding and formwork. The research shows that this is a growing and under-served market that deserves attention.”
