The 2018 Dealership Minds Summit, held at the Coralville Marriott Hotel & Conference Center in Iowa City, Iowa, July 24-25, drew a sold out crowd of 264 attendees, including 115 different dealerships across 28 states and 5 provinces.

Manufacturers had a chance to show off their latest and greatest products to nearly 19,000 registered attendees, including nearly 3,500 dealers and retailers, at the 2017 Green Industry & Equipment (GIE+Expo), held recently in Louisville, Ky. The show had another record-setting year, with registrations up 13% from 2016.

We'll have a team covering GIE+Expo and we would appreciate getting "from-the-floor" feedback from dealers. And, to help you make the most of your visit, download the Go EXPO app.

Rural Lifestyle Dealer editors will be blanketing the 2017 Farm Progress Show in Decatur, Ill., this week, to update you on the newest equipment developments.
