The calm before the storm The Kentucky Exposition Center being prepped for the sold-out Equip Exposition, held Oct. 18-21. OPEI owns and manages the trade show, which brings 25,000 attendees to Louisville each year.
EQUIP EXPO IS SOLD OUT LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Exhibit space at Equip Exposition and co-located Hardscape North America are fully sold out, beat- ing previous records. All indoor and outdoor exhibit space is sold. Equip Exposition (the former GIE+EXPO trade show) will be held Oct. 18-21 in Louisville, Kentucky, at the Kentucky Expo- sition Center (KEC). The show draws tens of thousands of landscapers, contractors, and others working in the outdoor industries and features nearly 1,000 exhibits. “This is a first for Expo: Every inch of exhibit space inside the KEC and outside in the newly expanded 30-acre Outdoor Demo Yard has been reserved,” said Kris Kiser, President & CEO of the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute (OPEI), which owns Equip Exposition. “It’s a great year to come to Louis- ville.” The excitement for the show has also led to record-break- ing advertising revenue for equip magazine and Equip Exposi- tion sponsorships.
“The sellout shows the vitality and excitement around Equip Exposition,” said Kiser. “It’s our industry’s ‘family re- union,’ complete with the food and fireworks – plus digging, mulching, mowing, sawing, and test-driving on a grand scale. You won’t want to miss it.” Equip Expo attendees can “test before they invest” in the newest and best outdoor power equipment, ask manufactur- ers questions face-to-face, attend the many education and training sessions available.
