GIE+EXPO 2019 registration now open
Registration is now open for GIE+EXPO 2019. The industry’s largest annual gathering is set for October 16-18 at the Kentucky Exposition Center in Louisville and online registration is available at www.gie-expo.com. Early bird registration is $15 through Sept. 5.
According to Kris Kiser, managing partner of GIE+EXPO and OPEI president, the combination of new products, demos, networking opportunities and dynamic education make the show a must-attend event for industry members.
“GIE+EXPO is the place to be for landscape professionals and dealers who want to take their company to the next level,” said Kiser. “Plan to land in Louisville this October for the industry’s biggest show – it’s the place to be if you’re in the outdoor living and equipment business.”
