Construction LeadershipTen finalists have been selected for the Next Level Awards program, with Contractors’ Top Choice to be determined during CONEXPO-CON/AGG.
Organizers of the CONEXPO-CON/AGG show and the International Fluid Power Exposition (IFPE) have announced the top 10 finalists for the Next Level Awards Program.
The CONEXPO-CON/AGG Next Level Awards celebrate exhibiting companies that are pushing the boundaries and developing next-level products, technologies and services designed to advance the construction industry.
The finalists will be exhibiting at the shows, March 14 to 18 in Las Vegas, where attendees will have a chance to select a champion from among the group.
Finalists include:
- Continental AG Smart Conveyor Management
- Digga Halo Auger Alignment System
- Euclid Chemical PSI Fiberstrand REPREVE 225
- FieldFlo FIELDFLŌ
- Hexagon’s Leica BLK2FLY
- Holcim’s ECOPact low-carbon concrete

“We were overwhelmed by the response to our call for submissions for this inaugural event and we’re excited to recognize these innovative construction products that are taking the industry to the next level,” said Dana Wuesthoff, CONEXPO-CON/AGG show director. “And from March 14 to 16, it will be in the hands of CONEXPO-CON/AGG attendees to determine the Contractors’ Top Choice.”
The finalists will be recognized with signage in their booths to encourage show attendees to vote on-site to determine the winner of the Contractors’ Top Choice award. Attendees will be able to scan a QR code and vote for their favourite entry right from their phones.
The finalists were selected by a diverse panel of Associated General Contractors of America (AGC) members. Judging was based on whether the product addresses a common industry need in a unique and innovative way; how it benefits the industry across multiple applications for industry wide adoption; and how it positively impacts the safety, sustainability and workforce of the industry.
“The Next Level Awards are a great showcase of the innovation taking place across the construction marketplace,” said AGC CEO Stephen Sandherr. “We are excited to be a part of CONEXPO-CON/AGG and to play a role in bringing these leading-edge solutions to the industry.”
Voting will only take place onsite at the show. Registration for CONEXPO-CON/AGG and IFPE is currently 20 percent off with code MEDIA20.
