Today is the last day of the Mid-Atlantic Nursery Trade show (MANTS). This three-day exhibition started on January 9 and is held in Baltimore (MD). 49 years ago, it started with 64 exhibitors and now hosts over 960. It draws exhibiting companies and attendees from all over the US, Canada, as well a Europe, Australia, and Asia.
Also this year the show seems to be well visited. So far, on the first and second day, they welcomed over 11,300 attendees in total. Will they break the record of last year, where the show attracted the largest number of registrants since 2008? In 2018, they welcomed over 11,565 total registrants (including exhibitors) representing 46 states and 15 foreign countries to this year’s show, the best attendance in ten years.
During the show, exhibitors and visitors posted pictures of their attendance on Social Media. Below, we made a recap to give you an impression of the show.
