CONEXPO-CON/ AGG to Recognize Achievements of Industry AEM is starting a public relations campaign to show appreciation for the construction industry and to highlight the great achievements of the industry. The campaign will culminate in a special event during CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2014 that recognizes the work of contractors from across the country. Eligible contractors and their projects will be identified in transportation and other construction categories. We will tell their stories and publicize their work in helping to provide our excellent quality of life. Of all these contractors, 50 will be selected to bring a guest to CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2014.
