The Utility Expo recently shared that the 2021 Show will showcase seven percent more exhibit space than the show in 2019 – which set records. The 2021 Utility Expo will be held September 28-30, 2021.
How much of the exhibit space is outdoors? 85 percent of the exhibit space is outdoors. This means utility industry professionals and exhibitors can safely come together to view new products, make connections and conduct business.
“We have exceeded 1.4 million square feet of space for the first time in show history, with 1.2 million of that being outdoors,” said John Rozum, show director of The Utility Expo.
“This is going to be the event that utility professionals, especially those making company-level decisions, and those needing professional development hours, can’t miss,” said Planet Underground President and Owner Mike Parilac, who is producing the first ever beginning-to-end underground utility work demonstration, The Jobsite, at The Utility Expo. “It’s one thing to see videos and read articles about these processes. It’s another to see the work in front of you in a way you can ask questions and see for yourself what the equipment and technology can do for your career and business.”
The biennial trade show is held in Louisville, Kentucky, and is known as the largest event for utility professionals and construction contractors. The Expo showcases the latest industry technologies, innovations and trends, as well as allowing for equipment test drives and interactive product demonstrations. The expo also features education directly on the show floor where industry professionals can learn best practices from industry experts.
“My favorite thing about this show is seeing all the different vendors, the new products they are rolling out, and getting hands-on with the equipment,” says Bruce from WEC Energy Group on the Utility Expo website. “We’ve been able to find products at this show that has helped us figure out how to reduce costs and be more efficient at the work we do.”
The Utility Expo is hosted by the Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM).
