POST-SHOW RECAP
Staff Report quip Exposition— the international landscape, outdoor living and equipment exposition— was held October 21-24 in Louisville, Kentucky, and posted another year of record attendance with nearly 30,000 registered attendees. Did it feel like a record-setting year? We asked many of the companies with displays, and most said that the quality and quantity of conversations was higher this year. Anecdotal, but pretty good.
“ Now in our fourth year as Equip, we continue to break records in both attendance and exhibit space,” said Kris Kiser, president and CEO of OPEI, which owns and manages Equip Exposition.
“ The show continues to serve as the most important gathering for the global industry, with attendance from all 50 states and 52 countries.”
And what did all those people see? You have seen much of the New Product announcements by now; those started the week before the show, actually, with manufacturers understanding that the show itself is either too big to see everything or challenging to attend. Hotel rooms fill up fast in this city, and trying to attend this show in one day leaves you wanting.
Here is an Equip Expo highlights reel from our perspective.
