Coming Orlando 2029
Ten years ago Ahead of the Grass Inc went in and everything changed.
In 2016 GIE+EXPO expanded the outdoor demo to 20 acres of real turf. Contractors and dealers finally got to test-drive mowers, loaders, UTVs, and compact equipment the way they actually work — on grass, not concrete. That move became the game changer the industry still talks about.
Fast forward to 2026: Equip Exposition is 30 acres of outdoor demo, 1.2+ million sq ft indoors, sold-out floor, and the same “try before you buy” energy — just bigger.
Louisville. October 20–23.
Welcome reception at Churchill Downs on the 20th. Floor and demo yard open the 21st.
If you buy, sell, or run outdoor power, landscape, or hardscape equipment, this is still the one week that sets the rest of the year.
