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 was thought to have been the largest mining trade show in the world, until replaced with MiNEcentral in 2018.[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]
