What if we told you there was a giant trade show with displays from OEs including Honda, Husqvarna, Kawasaki offering demos and dealer education happening now… and it isn’t INTERMOT or EICMA? Equip Expo is what it is… and it is HUGE! Formerly known as the GIE+ Expo the lawn & garden guys trade show starts today in Louisville, Kentucky and runs through the 21st.
With UTV blurring the lines between “Power Equipment” and “Powersports” the industries have more in common with each other than ever before… and dealers face many of the same issues. Last time we attended the old GIE version there were nearly 40 different side-by-side coming from OEMs ranging from Bobcat and Caterpillar to Kubota and John Deere. And speaking of John Deere. They are sponsoring the keynote address from Dave Feherty this morning. The golf funnyman delivers the keynote address in the Event Center at the KEC at 11 a.m.
From the exhibitors with cross-over products to the education classes that could help you grow your business, the show is something to pay attention to. The outdoor demo yard, complete with a separate UTV test track, has been expanded to 30 acres!
Even if the chainsaw competition and zero turn mower displays don’t add up for your business, you will be missing out on the UTV demo track and a full slate of dealer education seminars that could translate directly to your bottom line. Can’t cry over spilled milk, but you can see what you are missing in the online directory if you don’t believe us on how big this show has gotten.
