For the third straight year, the Renaissance Convention Center in Schaumburg, Ill., will play host to the Chicago Construction Expo.

The pillar-free convention hall, where more than 100 exhibits will be on display, is a good place for contractors, landscapers and public works officials to come together, discuss “the biz” and even find a few bargains.

The event will be held Jan. 7 to 8, 2009.

Additionally, exhibitors will showcase the latest models from all of the major manufacturers, as well as parts, attachments, trucks and trailers, and all of the ancillary industry products and services.

Door prizes, donated by the exhibitors, will be awarded throughout the show, and show-goers are likely to run into a celebrity or two as they travel the show floor.

Show hours are 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Parking and admission are free.

The show is produced by the trade show division of Construction Equipment Guide.
