The 36th Annual West Virginia Construction & Design Exposition was held on March 25 to 26 at the Charleston Civic Center in Charleston, W.Va. This year’s event marked the show’s fourth time hosting the Marcellus and Manufacturing Development Conference. With more than 450 exhibitor booths situated on both the ground and upper levels of the Civic Center, the event showcased the latest in equipment, services and products for the construction, design and public works industries.

The event also featured the Contractors Association of West Virginia state meeting. The West Virginia Construction & Design Exposition was a great place for industry professionals to find networking and educational opportunities with more than 85 seminars, conferences and meetings held throughout the two-day event. While the conference agenda reflected a good deal of focus on Marcellus resources and pipeline projects, there also were plenty of seminars and talks focused on a variety of topics ranging from area bridge and roadway updates, to architectural practice and licensure issues, to retaining wall construction and many other related subjects.
