The Fall Event is the perfect forum where progressive garden retailers, consultants and vendors come together to network, exchange ideas, collaborate and create new synergies to fuel success. No matter how long you’ve been in retail or what position you hold at your company, chances are there is still something you need to learn. There are countless reasons why you should attend The Fall Event, but we’ve managed to narrow it down to five:

1. Network with your peers. We know you’ve heard it all before, but networking is a huge part of your success. Meeting face-to-face with your peers provides an opportunity to collaborate, hear new ideas, and tap into a wealth of knowledge. You can find a mentor – or become one, and develop relationships that can last a lifetime.
2. Meet with our Service Providers. Our Service Providers are industry experts and solution-providers who truly know what is happening in the world of garden center retailing - and they have answers to your questions. Participate in the PROsessions for a chance to discuss your biggest challenges, explore new ideas, and learn
   what’s working for others.
3. Hear from our Guest Speakers. Our speakers are professionals from multiple industries with proven business
   success that will introduce you to new concepts and open your mind to new ways of thinking about how you do
   business every day.
4. Meet with our Sponsors. Our sponsors are premier industry suppliers of the products and services you need to
   run a successful garden center. Invest some time in visiting with them during breaks. See their newest products
   and spend some one-on-one time discovering what’s new and developing profitable business partnerships.
5. Relax and have fun. The Fall Event is a lot of learning packed into a short amount of time so we always make
   time for some fun! You’ll go home re-energized and ready to apply all that you’ve learned to make your center more
   successful!
