Great turnout for Green Industry Show & Conference in 2024
The Green Industry Show & Conference (GISC) 2024, held in Red Deer November 20-21, was a great success for attendees and exhibitors alike. Day 1 attendance jumped 25% from last year and Day 2 saw many attending despite a major snowstorm impacting travel. The event, held annually, continues to be the premiere horticulture industry event in Western Canada.
Highlights:
All 26 conference sessions were very well attended and featured education streams for landscape designers and contractors, tree producers and arborists, and greenhouse operations. New this year, all sessions were recorded so that registrants had the opportunity to pre-purchase access to the recordings at a discount or purchase post-event access.
The Landscape Alberta Nursery Producers had a record number of guests for their annual dinner and auction – always a highlight of our event. Preliminary numbers show an increased dollar amount raised for horticulture education and research.
The tradeshow continues to perform well with more than 10 new exhibitors this year to combine with our returning supporters for nearly 100 companies represented. Total attendance was nearly identical to 2023 despite the snowstorm leading into the second day. Red Deer appears to be great place for the green industry across Western Canada to meet.
The Alberta Greenhouse Growers Association Garden Party was another great celebration of the thriving greenhouse industry in the province and a great time for peers and friends to connect and celebrate the last year.
The GISC 2024 has once again proven to be a pivotal event for horticulture professionals in Western Canada. The dedication of the attendees, even in the face of challenging weather, highlights the importance and relevance of the event’s mission. As organizers of the event, Landscape Alberta Nursery Trades Association extends their heartfelt gratitude to all participants, speakers, and sponsors for their unwavering support and contribution to the success of GISC 2024.
