[Maximuslion]

never heard of lawn industry trade shows until i saw this forum. I can't find any info of these ever being in Houston, TX. Do they ever make it this far south ?

Texas Assn . of Nursrymen and Landscapers have a 3-4 day convention each summer. Last year it was in Houston, I think this year it rotates to DFW area. Also Southeast Texas Nurseymen have one in conroe each Jan, but it tends to be more 'plant" thean equipment,etc.

The TNLA show is a pretty good one. Last year it was in Houston, this year it is in Dallas on Aug 14-16. There are a lot of plants there but also a full range of equipment. It is a pretty good show and very worthwhile. Here is a link to info on the show. http://www.nurserylandscapeexpo.org/

I am guessing it will go back to Houston next year and have seen the future schedule but don't remember what I saw.

TURBOGUY , thanks. I was looking for something like this. I will investigate their website more. I'm hoping they have all the big brand reps there like scag, stihl, echo, bobcat, exmark, etc ... etc

Most shows have a list of exhibors. Sometimes the equipment is in a distributor or dealers booth so they may not always show up in a list. I have been displaying at the show for the last 6 or 8 years but never looked in mowers to see exactly who is or isn't there but there is a lot of equipment. There is always the Louisville show. Everyone is there and you can test drive a lot of the equipment.
