Why?
The "new format" of the ANLA Convention is that of an Executive Learning Retreat - a place where leaders in all segments of the industry can come to learn about themselves, their businesses, and our industry's place in the world. A place where owners and managers of all kinds of green industry businesses can come to discuss things we have in common, new ideas, big thoughts, and issues that affect us all.

Who?
This program will be most valuable to forward-thinking business owners and senior managers who are concerned about the future of the industry and the world. All ANLA members are welcomed.

What's different from other conventions I've been to?
Beginning in the year 2000, ANLA's convention is an executive learning retreat (This document is in PDF format -204KB. Click here for more information on PDF files) -- focusing on a shared experience, a cutting-edge innovation lab (This document is in PDF format -204KB. Click here for more information on PDF files), and valuable networking among business owners interested in shaping the world and the industry into the future. There is no trade show environment competing for time and attention, so interactions are more learning-focused and more genuine - giving us the ability to truly connect and grow as an industry.

The Green Industry Innovation Lab
Got a new, innovative product that you'd like to display in an INTERACTIVE, non-sales environment? We've got an opportunity for you! The first ever industry forum for only the cutting-edge products with industry applications, the Innovation Lab will debut in Vancouver. Owners & senior managers of Retail, Landscape, Grower & Distribution attendees will interact in this see-touch-feel-learn product laboratory, and if your product qualifies as an innovation, it could be showcased here!
