MGIX 2018 set to take place Jan. 15–17 in Columbus, Ohio
The Kentucky Nursery and Landscape Association (KNLA) will welcome its members to the 2018 Midwest Green Industry Experience in Columbus, Ohio, in lieu of holding the annual KNLA Spring Training and Showplace.
The Midwest Green Industry Experience began in 2017 as a refreshed and redefined version of Ohio Nursery and Landscape Association’s (ONLA) annual conference. Its mission: Welcome all who play a role in the green industry — in Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, and beyond. The 2017 convention welcomed just short of 5,000 attendees for three days of education, networking events, and a tradeshow experience that featured more than 250 vendors.
“We are thrilled to be partnering with ONLA at the 2018 Midwest Green Industry Experience,” said Kim Fritz, KNLA President. “The possibilities are endless when combining the education programs that KNLA and ONLA have both offered in the past, which we will build upon in the future. Also, the combined energy of having all our vendors under one roof is fantastic. All of our members will truly benefit from our partnership and this is a win/win for both associations.”
ONLA is excited to welcome KNLA to the Midwest Green Industry Experience. The organization looks forward to the opportunity to collaborate with KNLA to grow the success of MGIX and ensure that members of both associations receive an unmatched educational offering and networking experience.
MGIX 2018 takes place Jan. 15–17 at the Greater Columbus Convention Center. KNLA and ONLA members receive discounted pricing on MGIX exhibit space and registration.
