The 2016 GIE+EXPO held Oct. 19-21 at the Kentucky Expo Center in Louisville, Kentucky, buzzed with business indoors and out, topping the last two years’ records for attendance and exhibitors. More than 22,600 people from around the world represented a 12 percent increase in registration over last year. Thirty-three percent of dealer and 44 percent of lawn and landscape attendees were first timers.
The dates for the 2017 show in Louisville are Oct. 18 for dealers, distributors, retailers and media and Oct. 19-20 for everyone in the industry. The Demo Area will be open Thursday and Friday, Oct. 19 and 20. HNA, which first co-located with GIE+EXPO seven years ago, has an agreement to co-locate through 2018. Online registration will be available early in 2017.
