🏗️ Infrastructure policy, the future of construction, and everything in between were featured center-stage during CONEXPO-CON/AGG's POLITICO Live event!

🔎 To examine what’s been accomplished for U.S. , and what the future may hold, the event gathered government and industry leaders, including Bomag President Brian Bieller. Bieller took the stage to highlight just how important funding reliability is when it comes to surface transportation policy - moving projects along, controlling costs, and providing more value to taxpayers.

Farmers in the U.S. and Canada are producing more food per unit of water than ever, and it isn’t happening by accident.

The deployment of sustainable agriculture practices and cutting-edge technologies are helping farmers:

✅ Conserve and protect water resources
✅ Produce more food
✅ Strengthen the financial viability of their farming operations

AEM member leaders Darren Siekman of Valley Irrigation and Jason Parker of Lindsay Corporation break down how smart irrigation and technology are helping farmers make mor data-driven irrigation while also improving the delivery of water to crops 👇

AEM member companies Husco and Gravis Robotics are shining examples of what our industry does best: It innovates, it builds, and it keeps raising the bar. 💪

Last week, CONEXPO-CON/AGGshow attendees selected Husco’s GenSteer™ as the CONEXPO-CON/AGG Contractors’ Choice for best equipment and Gravis Robotic’s Gravis Rack as the CONEXPO-CON/AGG Contractors’ Choice for best technology during the 2026 edition of the show in Las Vegas.

Time and again, our members and their customers have told us how and where they want to meet: in person and at CONEXPO-CON/AGG.

Absolutely nothing can replace the experience of making meaningful and lasting connections, and we're proud to say there's no better place for non-road equipment manufacturers and construction industry professionals to do just that than North America's largest construction trade show.

See you again in Las Vegas in 2029!

Thanks to collaboration and coordination between countless AEM members and industry peers, a newly developed standard is poised to streamline how construction project data moves from the office to the jobsite. 👏

ISO/TS 15143-4 addresses long-standing challenges around interoperability, efficiency, and collaboration. More importantly, “Part 4: Worksite topographical data” of the ISO 15143 series of standards represents a significant step forward in aligning technology across equipment, contractors, and project partners, all while laying the groundwork for future innovation.

Learn more about the new standard and its potential impacts from Trimble Inc.'s Elwyn McLachlan, Topcon Positioning Systems's Fredrik Eklind, and Rune Lodall of Leica Geosystems ⬇️, or read about it here ➡️ https://lnkd.in/eNSJHksn
