Kevin O'Connor, This Old House host and home improvement expert, is set to give the keynote address at Equip Exposition this fall, focusing on energizing the landscapers, contractors, dealers and manufacturers who attend the trade show and helping them identify ways to build their business.

“We’re excited to have Kevin join us this October for Equip; he’s a seasoned contractor and really knows the business. He’s one of us, and he’ll have a great story to share with attendees,” said Kris Kiser, president of the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute, which owns and manages Equip Exposition. “Registration for the show is now open, so make sure you get your travel booked soon.”

The show will be held October 15-18 at the Kentucky Exposition Center (KEC).

Sponsored by Kress, the keynote address by O’Connor also is expected to address some of the larger trends happening in the industry. 

 “The people who run and make these businesses work, who show up every day, who employ and provide and get after it, those are my kind of people,” said O’Connor, adding that he hopes they learn “ways to make their businesses better, ways to get more people into these honorable professions and learn how to mentor, grow and be more productive day in and day out.”
