What’s New for 2026
One Venue, One Big Day.
We’re streamlining the Bootcamp experience. Everything takes place under one roof, on one day, at our most popular venue—The Point in South Portland.
New Format.
Shorter, 30-minute demos and presentations run all day right on the vendor floor, so you can choose what matters most to you and skip what doesn’t. No more waiting around for scheduled breaks to visit exhibitors—you’ll have access to everything, all the time.
Bigger Trade Show Energy.
We’ve expanded the exhibitor hall to feature more booths, more brands, and more products—plus more educational sessions and live demos, happening all day long.

Can’t Make it for the Whole Day? No Problem.
If the weather keeps you on plow duty in the morning or you’ve got jobsite responsibilities to juggle, you can still make the most of your time at Bootcamp. Drop in when you can—there’s value at every hour.
But if you stay…
We’re thanking full-day attendees with entry into our end-of-day raffle—with some fantastic prizes donated by Genest and our exhibitors. Plus, at the end of the day we’ll be distributing a commemorative duffel to the first 300 registered attendees!
Make it a Midwinter Getaway
Coming from central Maine, or out of state? This year’s location makes it easy to turn Bootcamp into a quick recharge. Our venue is just minutes from downtown Portland—home to some of the best food, breweries, and winter waterfront views in New England. Come for the expo, stay for the restaurants, hotels, and a break from the jobsite. Whether you’re driving in for the day or staying overnight, it’s the perfect chance to connect with your crew, check out new products, and enjoy a well-earned midwinter reset.
Genest Bootcamp offers a unique opportunity for you and your team to learn directly from industry experts, explore new solutions, and gain insights into the evolving needs of the business. After a full day of face time with the tools, tech, and people driving our industry forward, you’ll leave with the knowledge and tools to stay ahead of the competition.
