What’s New From You!
GWA: The Association for Garden Communicators has selected the IGC Show as the site of its 70th annual
membership event. More than 450 GWA consumer gardening communicators are expected on the trade
show floor, scouting the hottest products coming to market to share with their audience - consumer
gardeners. It’s your opportunity to show them what’s new from you.
Jeff Morey, IGC Show Founder and CEO, says, “We are honored and thrilled that GWA has selected the IGC
Show to co-locate their conference and expo. Not only will our retailer attendees have the opportunity to
network with influential members of the gardening media, our IGC Show exhibiting vendors will benefit
from the exposure of their hottest products to members of the consumer gardening press.”
