The organizer identifies hardscape contractors as attendees.
It is most useful for hardscape contractors who want to watch or enter timed installation competition, since teams are tested against industry best practices and guidelines, and it runs within Hardscape North America at the Kentucky Exposition Center. Sponsors such as Belgard, Nicolock Paving Stones and Keystone Hardscapes make it a good place for installers to meet manufacturers, while those outside hands-on hardscape work, such as designers or office staff, would find less relevant.
Competitors in installation contests usually wear work clothes, such as durable pants, work boots, gloves and safety glasses, while spectators on a trade show floor dress casually with comfortable closed shoes.
