We're all in this together!
The green industry, by its very nature, is diverse and complex. There are very few members who can fit into one, specific industry box (e.g. many landscape professionals offer tree work, garden centers provide design services, and wholesale growers have retail garden centers). Unlike other industries, the line between exhibitor and buyer is often blurred. We think it's time to celebrate this industry diversity!
So, beginning this year ... exhibitor and attendee registration will merge, badge colors will be limited to two: exhibitors (blue) and attendees (green) ... and everyone will be encourage to "Tell us who you are!" via colorful badge icons that can be picked up at registration. We believe this exciting new registration system will clearly illustrate the depth of our green industry, encourage networking, and build community. We hope you agree!
