New Name. Same High-Impact Event.
After 14 successful years as Genest Bootcamp, we’ve moved forward under a new name: Genest HMLX — the Hardscape, Masonry & Landscape Expo. The branding is new, but the mission is the same: bringing together contractors, crews, suppliers, and industry professionals for a high-energy day of product discovery, live demonstrations, education, and face-to-face connections.
Registration for our 15th annual event is now open — join us Tuesday, February 2, 2027, at The Point Community Center in South Portland, ME (snow date is Wednesday, February 3).
What’s New for HMLX 2027
FOOD TRUCKS
Two food trucks at the entrance instead of our traditional buffet mean you choose what and when to eat — no scheduled break, no waiting on show programming. Bring your own lunch or head off-site if you prefer.
CLASSROOM SEMINARS
Alongside our popular 30-minute Demo Zone presentations, HMLX now offers longer, in-depth classroom seminars. These require a free reservation separate from your ticket — registered attendees get a link to reserve seats once schedules are announced.
QR CODE NAME BADGES
Every attendee and exhibitor badge includes a unique QR code for instant contact sharing — scan a badge to exchange info, no business cards required.
Commemorative HMLX 2027 Quarter Zip
The first 300 registered attendees are eligible to receive an exclusive commemorative HMLX quarter-zip sweatshirt, co-sponsored by our Platinum Sponsor, SRW Products.

Registration Help
Registering Guests?
Our badge system requires a unique email per attendee. If your team shares one inbox, use “plus-addressing” — e.g., you@email.com for yourself and you+guest1@email.com for a teammate. These arrive in the same inbox but register as separate people. See our ticket registration page for a step-by-step guide and more information.

Call 207-324-3250 ext. 124 or email info@genest-concrete.com.
Inclement Weather
In the event that severe winter weather requires HMLX to be postponed, the event will be held the following day on Wednesday, February 3. Registered attendees will be notified by email of any schedule changes.
