The 2019 Farwest Show will offer two networking opportunities for key segments of the industry. The first event, Emergent Networking Event, is for business people who are new to the horticulture industry; the second event, Women in Horticulture, gives women in the industry a forum so they can share and make connections. The show will take place August 21–23 at the Oregon Convention Center in Portland, Oregon.
The Emergent Networking Event, sponsored by Heritage Seedlings & Liners Inc. and Supreme Perlite Company, takes place from 3:30–5 p.m., Wednesday, August 21, in VIP Room B, and is open to all horticulture professionals.
