Garden Center Show Call for Speakers
The Garden Center Show, with Lawn & Garden Retailer, takes place Aug. 12-13, 2025, in Rosemont, Illinois.
The Garden Center Show is designed with the independent garden center in mind, and we’re already hard at work putting together an industry-leading conference program sure to have something for everyone.
We are planning an amazing event, and would love for attendees to take part as speakers! We’d also like to hear from business thought leaders. If you have expertise to share and would be interested in speaking at our 2025 show, tell us about it below.
We are looking for:
- Keynote presentations that will inspire attendees to think about their independent garden centers in new and transformative ways.
- Topics for panel discussions, breakout sessions and hands-on workshops that will cover best business practices, emerging trends and/or forward-thinking strategies.
We want speakers, moderators and panelists who will:
- Offer fresh ideas and insights, not simply repeat commonly known business strategies or industry statistics.
- Broaden attendee horizons — for example, what can they learn from other industries, organizations or practices?
- Engage and involve attendees to make learning fun!
Presentations that have been given previously, particularly at other industry events, are ineligible for consideration. We want fresh takes!
Vendors, manufacturers and suppliers are eligible to speak at the show only if they are exhibiting.
