The Florida Nursery, Growers & Landscape Association Tropical Plant Industry Exhibition trade event showcasing the latest trends in foliage, floral and tropicals is slated for Jan. 21-23 at the Broward County Convention Center in Fort Lauderdale, FL. With more than 500 exhibiting companies in nearly 800 booth spaces, TPIE’s 200,000-square-foot exhibit area will offer wholesale buyers a wide array of resources for foliage and tropical plants, according to a news release.
Educational opportunities will be available through free demonstrations held each day at TPIE, generally on the hour, as well as a line-up of sessions specific to interiorscape professionals and business managers. There will be road shows, short courses, a career fair, awards, receptions and happy hours, with plenty of time to mingle and network with industry professionals.
The TPIE opening session, “Trends & Mindsets — Creating Success Today by Anticipating Tomorrow’s Consumer Trends and Needs,” will feature Christine Boland, an international trend analyst from Amsterdam, who will provide specific information about making your horticulture business products more relevant and valuable to consumers.
The TPIE Exhibitor Showcase area on the show floor will feature the newest plant varieties, show specials and other exhibitors’ showcase items. Plus, many TPIE exhibitors will be opening their doors for product demonstrations or for attendee tours of their facilities.
TPIE is the only national trade event for tropicals in the United States and what better place is there to be than warm, sunny Florida in January?
