April 18, 2019 – Registration is now open for GIE+EXPO 2019. The industry’s largest annual gathering is set for Oct. 16-18 at the Kentucky Exposition Center in Louisville and online registration is available at
www.gie-expo.com. Early bird registration is $15 through Sept. 5.
According to Kris Kiser, managing partner of GIE+EXPO and OPEI president, the combination of new products, demos, networking opportunities and dynamic education make the show a must-attend event for industry members.
“GIE+EXPO is the place to be for landscape professionals and dealers who want to take their company to the next level,” he said. “Plan to land in Louisville this October for the industry’s biggest show – it’s the place to be if you’re in the outdoor living and equipment business.”
David Weissenfluh, of Green with Envy, LLC has attended the show annually for nearly 20 years. “I come back every year to see what’s new and beneficial for my company,” he said. “There is nothing like talking face-to-face with the representatives in the booth. If you have never attended GIE+EXPO, it’s a must. Trends and products change all the time and all of the new innovations are debuted here.”
