major part of the GIE+EXPO is the introduction of new products. Contractors and dealers can browse newly released equipment and “try before they buy” in the outdoor demo area. Annually, the show lends itself to being the showcase for the latest innovations within the green industry. With no show being held in 2020, the anticipation is high that the manufacturers will be pulling out all the stops for the upcoming event in Louisville Oct. 20-22. “While technology has been creeping into the green industry for some time now, we expect it will be a driving force going forward,” says Chris Vogtman, director of marketing, Toro. “Coming out of the show, we anticipate a greater emphasis on applying technology to solve industry challenges like labor scarcity and energy concerns.” Evolution of battery-powered equipment, robotics and interconnected devices are anticipated to be major highlights of the 2021 show.
