For a fifth year in a row, Equip Expo has sold out its available exhibit space at the Kentucky Exposition Center (KEC), which will be held October 20-23, 2026.

“We have 1.2 million square feet of exhibit space, including the Outdoor Demo Yard. Every inch of the Kentucky Exposition Center that can be used for exhibit space is now sold,” says Kris Kiser, President & CEO of the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute (OPEI), who owns and manages the show. “That translates to more than a square mile of exhibits, or the equivalent of 20 football fields. There are thousands of products and services that can help dealers expand and better their business.”

Kiser noted that demand for space means that exhibitors must plan ahead and reserve space well in advance. The award-winning trade show sold its last exhibit space in May 2026. Last year the last booth sale was in June. In 2024, the trade show sold its final booth in August and in 2023, the last slot was sold in early October, a few weeks before the show opened. 

Kiser noted that due to high demand to participate in the show, the Equip staff continually work with KEC officials to re-imagine space and are creative about ways to add value for attendees. Last year they opened up Freedom Hall to exhibit sales for the first time. In 2025, Equip also moved and expanded the UTV Test Track to deliver an even better experience for attendees.

There’s still plenty of tickets left for attendees, who can register for the early bird price of only $30 through September 10, 2026. Ticket prices go to $60 on September 11, 2026, and to $120 on October 20, 2026.
