New and Expanded Education Programs Set for ICUEE 2007
UCT Again Co-Locates Special Underground-Focused Sessions

Attendees at the 2007 International Construction and Utility Equipment Exposition (ICUEE) will have access to more than 40 industry-specific learning sessions to help them expand their job knowledge and capabilities. Presentations by leading industry experts will focus on the latest technological trends and operational issues affecting the utility/construction industry.

ICUEE 2007 will be  held October 16 – 18, 2007 and cover more than 1 million net square feet of exhibit space at the Kentucky Exposition Center in Louisville, Kentucky. Known as The Demo Expo, the show features extensive product demonstrations where attendees can operate equipment under job-like conditions.

ICUEE will again offer a special co-located education program conducted by Underground Construction Technology (UCT). UCT is known for presenting state-of-the-art education related to underground construction and rehabilitation.

ICUEE 2007 seminars will also target above-ground and overhead equipment technologies and trends. A wide variety of topics will be covered to meet the industry needs of professionals in the electric, sewer/water, phone/cable, gas, general construction, government and landscaping industries.

New for the 2007 ICUEE is that all show seminars will offer Continuing Educational Units (CEUs) credit to attendees. To provide extra value to attendees, UCT and ICUEE will also offer several pre-show educational opportunities.

ICUEE educational sessions will be grouped into tracks, and concurrent sessions will run all three mornings of the show, to allow attendees maximum access to both the classroom sessions as well as the hands-on learning provided by the show’s many working-equipment demonstrations.

“We are very pleased to again be partnering with UCT. They are educational leaders and the UCT education program will certainly enhance the learning experience for ICUEE attendees,” stated ICUEE Show Manager Nicole Hallada.

“The goal of all our education programs is to help ensure that industry professionals have the information they need to meet today’s business challenges,” explained UCT Program Director Robert Carpenter. “Our participation at ICUEE is another opportunity to extend that value and better serve the industry."
