Trade show floor space already sold out for October’s Equip Expo in Louisville

The trade show floor for Equip Exposition, to be held in the Kentucky Exposition Center (KEC) Oct. 15-18, is now sold out, show organizers have announced. The event is expected to attract thousands of landscapers, contractors, dealers, distributors, hardscapers and more. Equip is the international landscape, outdoor living, and equipment exposition held annually in Louisville, and is one of the largest, annual trade shows in the United States. It is co-located with Hardscape North America.

“Maxing out the exhibit space more than two months before the doors open is great news for anyone attending,” Kris Kiser, president & CEO of the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute (OPEI), which owns the award-winning show, said.

He adds, “Every inch of the more than million square feet of indoor and outdoor exhibits at Equip Expo is loaded with equipment, training and information to help landscapers and contractors run their businesses more efficiently and make more money. Whatever business problems keep you up at night, this trade show addresses.”

Kiser said a waiting list is already going for exhibitors who want to request space for next year. “Equip has maxed out yearly and is the destination for showing off the newest and most innovative outdoor power equipment, technology for contractors, and getting ahead of industry trends.”

With more than a million square feet of indoor and outdoor exhibits at the KEC, including a 30-acre Outdoor Demo Yard where attendees can mow, chop, dig, and drive the latest equipment, preparation is more important than ever.

The early bird rate for registration is $30, but doubles to $60 after Sept. 5.

In 2023, Equip Exposition sold its last exhibit space in early October. This year the last spot sold out in early August.

“People want to be at this show to talk about the trends impacting the work you do every day, and you really can’t miss it,” Kiser said.

Equip Exposition broke records last year with more than 27,000 attendees, won two Grand Awards from Trade Show Executive’s Gold 100 Awards program and now has been nominated for three more awards in 2024, and expanded its footprint into the West Wing.

Bringing more than $20 million to the Derby City, the trade show’s impact reverberates into landscape contracting businesses around the country.

Registration and hotel reservations can be booked through Equip’s official housing provider, Louisville Tourism, on the Equip website.
