Imagine being able to create a "shopping" list of every manufacturer you're interested in talking to and being able to check off your list all in one place. Imagine being able to not only see the manufacturers' products up close, but also to get the tires dirty and try them out in a demo yard. Imagine being able to talk to the manufacturers' sales reps about the purchasing logistics of a product and when you'd likely be able to have it on hand. Imagine being able to talk to product managers who know all the ins and outs of that product like the back of their hand. Imagine being able to converse with other industry professionals about what challenges they're facing and how they're solving them.
I'm sure you know where I'm going by now. Attendees of Equip Expo can do all of that and more. For this month's cover story, we talked with Equip Expo show organizers, exhibiting manufacturers and past and future attendees about all the items available at the show—and all under one roof.
You can find that full story here.
