MinExpo International is a trade show sponsored by the National Mining Association.[1] The show exhibits the latest mining and minerals processing technologies, and state-of-the-art machinery and equipment for the coal, metal and nonmetal mining processing industries. MINExpo International 2008 is thought to have been the largest mining trade show in the world.[2]

MINExpo International is held every four years and has been held at the Las Vegas Convention Center since 1996.[3] The 2008 MINExpo drew over 44,000 people (an increase of over 44% from the previous show in 2004) and 1,025 exhibitors in an area of 600,000 square feet (56,000 m2)[1][2][3]
