Registration is open and Hardscape North America is set to bring new products, technology, interactive exhibits, and education to the Kentucky Exposition Center Oct. 18-20, 2023. With the HNA indoor exhibit space in the North Wing already sold out, attendees can expect to see and test the newest industry products at the nation’s largest hardscape and landscape event.
Hardscape contractors and dealers, landscape professionals, design professionals, and industry students and professors can register at HardscapeNA.com for the $25 early bird rate through Sept. 7.
“HNA is THE place to see products related to every part of this phenomenal trend called ‘outdoor living.’ Where else can you see so many products in one place? The networking is a draw as well. Our industry is filled with amazing people, and this is the best place to meet up with them,” said 2022 attendee Jeremy Martin of Willow Gates Landscaping in Mohnton, Pennsylvania.
New and returning features at HNA include the following:
- Hardscape House and Outdoor Demonstration Yard allow attendees to learn from live demos, watch the Installer Championships and get behind the controls of the equipment.
- By popular demand, the annual HNA Installer Championship will increase the number of teams from 12 to 18.
- The opening keynote will feature Arctic explorer Ben Saunders.
- A Tuesday evening welcome reception at the downtown KICC, will provide free food, drinks, and music by the Crashers.
- Education sessions and installer courses offer certification, business skills, and marketing tools. New on the lineup this year are two natural stone education sessions: Ask the Natural Stone Experts and Tips for Sourcing Natural Stone & How to Make More Money.
- In the Drone Zone, attendees can test their ability on a flight simulator, and then fly a drone with an expert trainer in the new West Wing exhibit area.
- The Unilock Coffee Stop offers free coffee for attendees.
New this year, attendees are invited to a free arena concert featuring Third Eye Blind and opener Dylan Scott at the KFC Yum! Center in downtown Louisville on Thursday evening.
Access to the co-located Equip Exposition is included with HNA registration. HNA is produced by the Concrete Masonry & Hardscapes Association (CMHA) and is endorsed by the Brick Industry Association and Natural Stone Institute.
