Last year was my first time attending the World of Concrete trade show in Las Vegas. Why should you care about this event? One word: TOOLS! Like moths to flames, several of the major tool companies swarm WOC every year to show off their latest and greatest tools, all while selflessly risking incarceration for a myriad of transgressions while in the city of sin. This year is no exception!
Like last year, I’ll start off with the disclosure that I attended WOC as a guest of Bosch. And, since their media event is a big part of why I was there (that, and the showgirls), expect to see the coverage skew towards the blue end of the spectrum. We covered the Bosch media event and a few highlights of World of Concrete live on Twitter. But you didn’t have to catch us live to get all the action. . . Check out the commentary, photos and videos below (the content may take a few moments to load, so hang tight – and beware, a few of the videos are loud)!
