Despite it not being business as usual, buyers and attendees from 45 states and 22 nations are already pre-registered to attend TPIE. In fact, almost 900 retail buyers are already pre-registered.
This reflects the continuing, pent-up demand for tropical foliage and indoor houseplants. With supply lines stretched, TPIE offers one of the most diverse and immediate marketplaces to expand supply resources, get up-to-date inventory availability, and gain solutions unique to one’s needs.
While it is understood not everyone is ready to meet in person, 95 percent of TPIE’s original 450 exhibiting companies (across 770 exhibit booth spaces) will be at the show. Expect exhibitors to be fully engaged, offering the newest trends in foliage plants and products, and showcasing the inspiring displays for which TPIE is famous.
Not only is an active trade show floor anticipated at TPIE, but several Education Sessions are also nearly sold out, too! With more than 900 registrations for the various sessions, a new record may be set for TPIE Road Show and classroom participation this year.
Also, get ready for 9 a.m. Wednesday, Jan. 19 when TPIE delivers a powerful Opening Session: “Embedding a Culture of Innovation in Everyone’s DNA.” The speaker is none other than Duncan Wardle who, while Head of Innovation and Creativity at Disney, steered Imagineering, Lucasfilm, Marvel, Pixar and Disney Parks to innovate.
