Equip Announces Dealer Boot Camp, Dealer Breakfast
Equip Exposition has unveiled several new events this year—a new education offering called Equip Academy, the resurrection of the Wednesday morning Dealer Breakfast sponsored by Stihl Inc., a new Dealer Boot Camp, and a closing block party at Old Forester’s Paristown Hall for all attendees.
• Equip Academy: Every education session at the blockbuster trade show is now available to attendees thanks to Equip Academy, a new in-person and online training package. For just $170, attendees can access dozens of education sessions. Price increases after September 10.
• Dealer Breakfast: Sponsored by Stihl Inc., this dealer-focused event on Wednesday morning from 7:30 to 9:00 a.m. will feature wisdom from industry leaders before the show opens later that day for Dealer Day.
• Dealer Boot Camp: Presented by the team at Bob Clements International this one-day, hands-on workshop on Tuesday, October 20 covers every corner of dealership: Service, parts, sales, marketing, and leadership. The goal is for every participant to leave with the tools and tactics to make an immediate impact on sales and growth.
• Closing Party: On Thursday evening of the show, October 22, attendees will take over Old Forester’s Paristown Hall and the surrounding block for a new Equip event: the Paristown Block Party, sponsored by Gravely. There will be great music from Kentuckiana’s popular all-genre cover band, the Juicebox Heroes, and attendees can network while enjoying local fare and an exclusive tasting of the official show bourbon.
Admittance to Dealer Boot Camp and closing party included with Equip registration. Equip Academy and the Dealer Breakfast require separate registration fees.
Attendees can register for Equip at the early bird price of $30 through September 10, 2026. Ticket prices go to $60 on September 11, 2026, and to $120 on October 20, 2026.
