Videos from the GIE+EXPO

The editors of Lawn & Landscape don't just sit in front of computer screens all day … well, actually, for the most part, we do. But, sometimes, we like to pretend we majored in broadcast journalism.

Along with the videos below, we interviewed industry leaders like Mike Rorie, GIS Dynamics CEO, Kris Kiser, OPEI President and CEO and Sabeena Hickman, PLANET CEO.

To see all of the videos, visit www.lawnandlandscape.com and search "GIE+EXPO."
