The Utility Expo (formerly ICUEE) in 2021 wil have a new outdoor layout with more space for overhead and underground utility equipment. This will allow for more new product introductions and demonstrations at the show, September 28-30 in Louisville, Kentucky. The show is 90% outdoors.
The demolition of Old Cardinal Stadium from the Kentucky Exposition Center grounds allows The Utility Expo to use that newly paved lot for exhibits, serving as a massive contiguous exhibit area connecting the indoor exhibits in North Hall and the traditional digging space in Lot K. The new layout also provides for the opportunity to group similar product types, making it easier to navigate and find the equipment at the show.
Another significant advantage of moving the exhibits all to the north side of the Hall is it greatly simplifies parking and traffic flow.
The health and safety of all show participants is a top priority of The Utility Expo, and show leadership is taking proactive steps to follow policies and guidelines of the CDC and the Kentucky Exposition Center to ensure a safe and rewarding in-person experience for all.
Registration for The Utility Expo opens May 14, 2021.
