Equip Expo Showcases Cutting-Edge Technologies for Landscape Contractors

The Equip Exposition, one of the largest trade shows in the U.S., is set to return from October 21-24, 2025, at the Kentucky Exposition Center (KEC) in Louisville. This year, the event promises over a million square feet of exhibit space and an expansive 30-acre Outdoor Demo Yard, making it a must-attend for landscape contractors eager to explore the latest advancements in technology.

With a focus on innovative tools and equipment, attendees will have the opportunity to engage with a variety of modern landscape management solutions. From robotic mowers to smart irrigation systems, Equip Expo provides a unique platform for contractors to gain hands-on experience with cutting-edge technology.

Kris Kiser, the President and CEO of the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute (OPEI), emphasizes the significance of this event, stating, "Nowhere else can you see all the industry's technology in one place. The most efficient way to see the industry's innovations is to come to Equip Exposition--the latest smart technologies for lighting, equipment, irrigation, safety and more."

Hands-On Experience in the Outdoor Demo Yard

One of the highlights of the Equip Expo is the Outdoor Demo Yard, where attendees will be able to physically test various equipment. Here, contractors can experience real-world applications of the latest tools, from mowing and mulching to digging and driving. The newly-expanded UTV Test Track invites participants to navigate through mud, rocks, and curves, offering a true-to-life experience with the industry’s latest rugged work vehicles.

Brandon Writt, a contractor with Brandon's Professional Services, found his attendance at last year's expo invaluable. "We're looking to innovate the maintenance of grass cutting and improve time capacity. I wanted to come here to look at the opportunities for the technology in auto mowers," he shared.

Inside the KEC, network opportunities abound as attendees meet with manufacturers showcasing innovative outdoor power equipment, drones, landscaping software, and integrated technology products that enhance business operations. Participants can even obtain drone pilot certification while flying drones in the designated Drone Zone.

A Step Forward in Efficiency

Alexander "Lex" Allen from Pacific Federal Management attended the expo last year with a goal to transform his business model. He stated, "Times are changing. Technology is changing. We want to do things better, more efficiently, and spend fewer resources."

The Equip Expo is not just about showcasing products; last year, it attracted over 28,500 contractors, dealers, and manufacturers, establishing itself as an essential venue for networking and learning. To make navigation easier, attendees can utilize the Equip Expo app, which is sponsored by CASE Construction Equipment.
