"We had high hopes this event would be a success since it was built from years of experience and with the pride and passion my co-founder of the show, Jessica Lombardo, and I have for this great industry," PAVE/X Co-Founder Amy Schwandt said. "The results and support of the audience exceeded our expectations, with three days packed full of great content and networking events that were warmly received."
The inaugural PAVE/X event featured exhibits from over 70 manufacturers, as well as over nine hours of live outdoor equipment demonstrations.
"Outdoor equipment demonstrations were something we knew contractors were looking for from an event and buying experience," Lombardo said. "PAVE/X was thrilled to bring a fast-paced demonstration showcase for attendees to watch equipment at work and ask questions to help ease the decision-making process for them from the experts that know the equipment best."
PAVE/X featured outdoor demonstrations from: Astec, BOMAG, Cemen Tech, Cimline, Crafco, Dynapac, Etnyre, Graco, KM International, LeeBoy, Odra, Schwarze, SMITH, Weiler, and Wirtgen.
