A New Chapter for Equip Exposition 2026
The Equip Exposition is gearing up for an exciting transformation at its upcoming event in 2026, set to take place from October 20-23 in Louisville, Kentucky. As one of the largest gatherings for landscape and outdoor power equipment professionals, this year's expo introduces a fresh attendee experience designed not only to educate but also to entertain and foster community.
Closing Party at Paristown Point: A Unique Celebration
A highlight of the 2026 event is a brand-new closing party at Paristown Point, a vibrant and historic venue in Louisville. Scheduled for October 22, this open-air bash aims to create a relaxed space for attendees to unwind, connect, and celebrate the end of a remarkable week. According to Kris Kiser, President of OPEI, "This closing party has something for everyone. It’s an opportunity to get together with friends you brought and people you met at Equip in a relaxed environment and build on those connections made on the show floor." The celebration promises live music, local food vendors, and a distinctly Kentucky experience, all aimed at enhancing the community feel of the expo.
Craft Beer and Bourbon: Tasting the Local Flavor
Adding to the local ambiance, the closing party will feature a bourbon tasting experience from Uncle Boojie’s Distilling Co., the event's official show bourbon. Attendees will have the chance to sample this exquisite spirit during the show and enjoy it again at the party. Uncle Boojie’s aims to deliver an authentic taste of Kentucky, ensuring that the flavor of the local community permeates the event. This opportunity not only elevates the social experience but also supports local businesses—a win-win for both attendees and the Louisville community.
Commitment to Education and Networking
Equip Exposition is not just about socializing; it’s also a platform for learning and professional growth. In addition to the enthusiastic celebrations, attendees can expect an array of educational programming tailored to meet the industry’s needs. The expanded Pro Education Series will feature advanced sessions on landscaping, tree care, and irrigation, reflecting the show's commitment to providing value beyond product showcases.
