Hardscape North America and GIE+EXPO have jointly announced that they will co-locate at the Kentucky Exposition Center in Louisville, Ky. through 2016.

Since 2010 the two shows have been held together and combine to make up the 16th largest tradeshow in the USA, according to Trade Show Executive magazine's 2013 Gold 100 list of the largest tradeshows.

HNA is produced by the Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute and endorsed by the Brick Industry Association and National Concrete Masonry Association.

GIE+EXPO is sponsored by the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute (OPEI) the Professional Landcare Network (PLANET) and the Professional Grounds Management Society (PGMS).

"The presence of HNA offers expanded educational and business opportunities to thousands of lawn and landscape professionals who attend GIE+EXPO," said Kris Kiser, President and CEO of OPEI. "And, the availability of GIE+EXPO provides additional attractions to the design-build contractors, distributors, dealers, architects and engineers that have regularly attended Hardscape North America.

"The ICPI is excited about extending our partnership between GIE+EXPO and Hardscape North America through 2016," noted Charles McGrath, ICPI's Executive Director. "Co-locating with GIE+EXPO brings together landscape and hardscape. It's a natural fit. This partnership has resulted in positive growth fort he show and greater return on investment for exhibitors as well as attendees."
