The Field Classroom (ICUEE photo)

Attendees at ICUEE 2017 will be able to see industry best practices illustrated first hand with equipment on the show floor during new “field classroom” education sessions.

Rounding out the ICUEE education lineup are popular returning programs: the Utility Safety and Utility Fleet conferences and the indoor demo stage.

“Education really ramps up the value of ICUEE for attendees; they have convenient access to a variety of quality industry-focused sessions to gain knowledge that improves their job performance and helps their companies succeed,” said Rick Rodier, ICUEE 2017 chair and vice president and general manager of the Sitework Systems Division of The Toro Company.

ICUEE, the International Construction and Utility Equipment Exposition will take place Oct.3-5, 2017 at the Kentucky Exposition Center in Louisville, Ky.

Learning Opportunities

More than 75 expert-led sessions at ICUEE 2017 will help utility and construction industry professionals from novice to veteran enhance their safety knowledge, increase efficiencies and reduce downtime on the job.

New: Field Classrooms

Ten 90-minute sessions will focus on aerial devices, fleet management, high voltage transmission technology, horizontal directional drilling and vacuum excavation.

Also new for 2017 is a “Discover ICUEE” behind-the-scenes walking tour just prior to show opening (Oct. 3 from 7:30-8:30 a.m.). Attendees will receive a comprehensive show overview to help them maximize their time on site and make the most of their ICUEE experience.

The indoor ICUEE demo stage, presented by Benjamin Media Inc., expands the show's popular outdoor equipment demonstration component. More than 20 fast-paced 20-minute exhibitor presentations will feature product innovations and best practices in action.

No registration is required. Just stop at the stage on the show floor (near the entrance to South Wing B) during show hours Oct. 3-5.
