Conference OverviewThe Green Industry Conference provides opportunities for education, networking, discovering new products and much more. At the event you'll learn practical ways to manage and grow your business. You'll have the opportunity to hear business experts speak on topics such as social media marketing, water feature design, sustainable landscaping practices and managing costs and budgets, to name a few. You can even suggest topics and presenters on the conference website.

GIE+EXPO GIC is held in conjunction with the GIE+Expo, which had over 17,000 participants last year. Scott Muehlhauser of Scotts Power Equipment, one of those 17,000, says this about the event, "There's always something to see, always something to learn at GIE+EXPO. And, if it can help your bottom line and make your business easier, then it's well worth it to be there. If you've never been to GIE+EXPO you have got to get there!" Featuring an outdoor demonstration area, a new products arena and an area dedicated to Hardscape North America, you are sure to discover something new.

Activities & Awards In addition to educational and networking opportunities there will also be opportunities to have fun and celebrate with other landscape professionals. Each year there is a golf outing, an evening concert series as well as the PLANET Environmental Improvement Awards presentation and reception.
