Genest Hardscape, Masonry & Landscape Expo (HMLX)

New Name. Same High-Impact Event.
After 14 successful years as Genest Bootcamp, we are moving forward under a new name: Genest HMLX — the Genest Hardscape, Masonry & Landscape Expo.
HMLX represents the next evolution of Genest’s annual tradeshow in South Portland, ME. While the branding is new, the mission remains the same: bringing together contractors, crews, suppliers, and industry professionals for a high-energy day of product discovery, live demonstrations, education, and valuable face-to-face connections.
As we enter our 15th year, this new identity better reflects the full scope of the hardscape, masonry, and landscape trades we serve and the continued growth of this contractor-focused event.
