Getting that time one-on-one time with somebody to build on an existing relationship or establish a new one – there’s not too many other places, if any other place that I’ve heard of – that you can do that.”
Justin Bartlett, Legacy Labor
It’s very difficult to meet with the major folks in this industry. At [CONNECT] we get to deal with the who’s-who, or the folks that make the decisions at these major companies.”
Otto Kaufmann, Lambert Peat Moss
[CONNECT provides] the opportunity to see many customers in one place – in one trip – and have a good blend of 1:1 time and social time with many of the key growers in North America.”
Chuck Buffington, Berger
When we walked in the door here, we already knew we were going to have great meetings with great people. And we had some good background; they knew about us and we knew about them. “
Greg Fuller, Indoor SunSource
We find value in the conversations that happen at breakfast, at lunch, dinner, after hours. The social aspect of it really helps enhance the relationship-building of this event.”
Liz Dunbar, BASF Corporation
It’s not only the meetings you have, but the networking opportunities. Even if you don’t have a meeting with [a grower], you can still rub elbows and have conversations with people.”
Traci Dooley, Hortica

Leading Up To the Event
We work with you to develop a Business Partner Profile to highlight your company’s technologies and services. This profile will be shared with the growing operations during the matching process.
-
One of our editors conducts an interview with each grower to identify their operation’s strategic goals and challenges. The information is compiled to create the operation business profile.
-
You review the profiles of all the participating operations and let us know which growers you want to meet with.
-
Meetings are scheduled for you based on your interest and the responses from the growers. The meetings that match up become your approved on-site meeting schedule.
-
Once all meetings are approved by you and the growers, we share their contact information with you so that your team can reach out and set an agenda for the on-site meeting. This helps facilitate the meeting and make the most of your time together at the event.
During the Event
You participate in two full days of private one-on-one, 50-minute business meetings with the decision makers from leading growing operations. In addition, there are plentiful high-value networking opportunities during meals and social functions.
The Value
You leave GreenhouseCONNECT with new relationships and specific follow-up plans developed during your meetings. Our team will continue to work with you and the growers post-event to ensure that action items are addressed and relationships continue to grow.
