■MINExpo 2016 at a Glance

MINExpo INTERNATIONAL 2016 took place from September 26 to 28, 2016, at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Nevada. Sponsored by the National Mining Association, the event brought together mining companies, equipment manufacturers, technology providers, service companies and industry professionals from around the world.

■Why Mining Leaders Gathered in Las Vegas

Mining operations were under pressure to improve safety, manage costs, raise productivity and respond to changing demand for metals, minerals and energy. MINExpo provided a single venue where decision-makers could compare equipment and services, discuss operating challenges and learn from specialists across the mining value chain.

The event's four-year cycle made it a major review point for developments in extraction, processing, haulage, automation, maintenance, safety and environmental performance. For managers and procurement teams, the value was not limited to seeing large machines: it also came from comparing suppliers, examining new technologies and discussing how proposed solutions would fit real operating conditions.

■The Scale of MINExpo 2016

At the opening of the show, the National Mining Association described more than 840,000 square feet of exhibition space, over 1,900 exhibitors and an anticipated attendance of more than 40,000 people from over 130 countries. Those figures illustrate why the exhibition served as an international meeting point for equipment, products, services and technical knowledge.
