Horticulture industry’s largest trade show kicks off July 9

The nation’s largest horticulture conference and trade show is approaching fast. AmericanHort’s Cultivate’16 is set for July 9-12 at the Greater Columbus Convention Center in Ohio.

With more than 130 educational sessions, an 8-acre trade show (known as the Solutions Marketplace) and plenty of networking activities, AmericanHort bills Cultivate’16 as “the business investment that pays for itself over and over again.” The theme of this year’s event is The New Now.

Growers, landscapers, florists, educators and designers from all 50 states and around the world are expected to attend.

Don’t worry about packing your laptop. A Cultivate’16 app is available for download for both iPhone and Android phones, enabling users to navigate the show from start to finish. With the app, you can look over the day’s sessions, check out exhibitors, access session handouts, and view new products and varieties. You can find it here.

AmericanHort has arranged several other ways to save you time and money, including a $2.75 shuttle between the airport and downtown Columbus. For details, visit the Cultivate’16 website.
