LOUISVILLE, Ky. - With the addition of Hardscape North America (HNA), attendees at the 2010 GIE+EXPO, Green Industry & Equipment Expo, October 28-30, will have access to more education, certification opportunities, demonstrations and exhibits than ever. They can attend two tradeshows for the cost of one at the Kentucky Exposition Center.

Together, HNA , with products and materials exclusive to the hardscape industry, and GIE+EXPO, with the latest in outdoor power equipment and landscaping supplies, will offer 750 exhibits and 19 acres of outdoor demo space. HNA’s Conference and Tradeshow will run concurrently with GIE+EXPO. Attendees can register for over 85 educational sessions and workshops covering everything from installation certification and hands-on demonstrations to lawn and landscape management and business marketing.

"There's no question that combining hardscape education with landscape education, in addition to acres of equipment on display, make this an all-in-one business-building experience contractors can use to grow their hardscape businesses," says Mike Mueller, chairman of the HNA steering committee and general manager of TEKA North America.

Registration for HNA or GIE+EXPO will allow attendees to build their show schedule around their particular business needs along with optional training and certification events.


Registration as little as $35 will give you admission to both shows as well as demonstrations at the HNA Outdoor Arena, mechanical paver installation demonstrations and all show networking and entertainment venues. Attendees have the option of registering at www.HardscapeNA.com or at www.gie-expo.com.

The HNA indoor area will feature exhibits displaying new products and equipment including pavers and segmental retaining walls (SRW), edge restraints, hardscaping tools and more. Tradeshow attendees will also be able to visit hundreds of other power equipment and green industry exhibitors inside and outside at GIE+EXPO as well as compare the newest innovations at GIE+EXPO’s New Products Arena.
