About this event
The expo is a single-day event that brings together people who keep buildings and plants running. Listings describe it as a gathering for plant engineers and building maintenance professionals, so the floor centers on the day-to-day work of keeping sites in good working order.
Attendees can expect exhibits covering equipment, supplies, service providers and facility technology. For a grocery operation, that mix can cover cold storage upkeep, sanitation equipment, floor care, HVAC service and the tools used to schedule and track repairs.
One listing names Expo Source as the organizer. The 2027 edition is the only one with a confirmed date in the research, and the venue is a fixed Louisville location, so attendees can plan travel around a single day.
Who should go
- Facilities managers and plant engineers at grocery stores or distribution sites in Kentucky
- Building maintenance leads responsible for refrigeration, HVAC and floor care
- Operations managers who schedule contracted repair and upkeep work
- Staff who evaluate maintenance software, monitoring tools or service providers
Why it matters for robots
For someone weighing robots or automation in a grocery setting, this expo offers a practical look at how maintenance teams already plan upkeep. Many automated tools, including floor cleaning and monitoring equipment, are judged by the same people who handle repairs and service contracts.
Expect conversations to center on uptime, service coverage and how new equipment fits existing maintenance routines. Useful questions for vendors include how their equipment is serviced, what staff training is needed and how their systems report problems to your team.
