WELCOME

40 Years of Expo This year is a milestone for Equip Exposition. Expo—one of the largest annual trade shows in the United States— marks its 40 th show this October, and we hope you’ll join us to celebrate. Since starting as a pavilion of outdoor power equipment attached to the Farm Show in Louisville, Kentucky, in 1984, Expo has evolved and grown alongside the industry into the premier international outdoor living and landscape equipment exposition for landscapers, dealers, hardscapers, and contractors from all 50 states and 49 countries. For four decades—and under a few different names—Expo has continued to provide attendees a one-stop shop for the latest and most advanced products, education, and networking you need to grow your business. Equip Expo has evolved into a unique, week-long experience for a range of interconnected businesses including outdoor power equipment, landscaping, hardscaping, tree care, design, lighting, irrigation, and more. Following the record-setting attendance and hotel bookings and sellout of exhibit space last year, Equip Exposition in 2023 will expand on its success by offering new, advanced education plus additional entertainment and events including a new arena concert, expansion into the West Wing of the Kentucky Exposition Center (KEC), and improved logistics and food options. Just as our industry is ever-evolving, so is the trade show that serves them. After 40 years, we’re just getting started.
