LOUISVILLE, Ky., May 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The landscape industry's top podcasters, content creators, and social media influencers will be streaming live and churning out inspiration and business tips at Equip Exposition on Pod-Row™ and through a series of events at the award-winning, blockbuster trade show.

Equip Expo, which will be held October 15-18, 2024, drew more than 27,000 landscapers, contractors, dealers, and manufacturers last year.
