Organisers of the Equip Exhibition that takes place in Louisville, Kentucky from October 15-18, say that outdoor power equipment dealers can develop their skills and take advantage of new trends impacting their industry due to expanded educational opportunities this year.

Exploring new business opportunities is a main focus of the show, which drew more than 27,000 participants from 46 countries last year.

“Equip Expo’s mission is to help landscape, contractors and equipment dealers, advance their businesses,” said Kris Kiser, President and CEO of the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute, which owns Equip Exposition. “Come to Louisville to see the latest and most innovative equipment and leave with a new perspective and greater knowledge that you can immediately apply.”

Equip says the Dealer Management track will help outdoor power equipment personnel think through whether it’s smart to open a new location, how to exceed sales goals, keeping departments working together smoothly, and delivering great customer experiences.

The dealer education will be provided by the Equipment and Engine Training Council and Bob Clements International.

Registration for the show is open now and you can find out more about the education programme here.
