Central New York’s Hard Hat Expo is bringing the “City of Lights” to Syracuse as they host a Vegas-themed event in March 2026.
Lee Trade Shows’ long running construction event returns to the Expo Center at the State Fairgrounds in spring 2026 on March 18 and 19. 2026 is a big year, as the show shares the timely month of March with the triennial Conexpo/ConAgg event – and its management team wants to bring their own version of a big city industry theme to the Fairgrounds.
New sponsorships and a HALO photo booth, Vegas showgirls and musical entertainment have been added to embrace the theme.
Sales Manager Matt Stanley and the Lee Trade Shows team have embarked on a multiple year effort to get exhibitors invested early in the year – and he’s optimistic after a very successful 2025 event.
Janet Lee Stanley, president and general manager of Lee Newspapers and Lee Trade Shows, noted her excitement: “I’m looking forward to it. Our entire team is looking forward to embracing that Vegas feel for our 2026 show. We’ve got a great two days planned for everyone. Even our staff will sparkle Vegas-style and fun games of chance will be found throughout the show. You don’t want to miss it!”
