Farwest Show 2026 issues call for speakers
The Oregon Association of Nurseries (OAN) announced it is accepting speaker proposals for the 2026 Farwest Show, scheduled for Aug. 26-28 at the Oregon Convention Center in Portland, Oregon.
“Farwest is more than a trade show — it provides groundbreaking and relevant educational sessions for all types of Green Industry professionals,” OAN events and education coordinator Jamie Moore said. “We are seeking presenters who can offer meaningful insights and practical strategies that attendees can take back and apply to grow their careers and their businesses.”
Topics may include horticulture and plants; pesticide application; integrated pest management; wholesale grower-focused information; marketing, merchandising, retail and business tactics; consumer trends; landscape design and architecture; and mechanization, technology and innovation, as well as other topics.
New for 2026 will be the Farwest Automation Summit, a forward-looking initiative focused on how automation is transforming the nursery and greenhouse industry. This summit will bring together innovators, growers and technology leaders to explore tools, systems, and strategies that enhance efficiency, reduce costs and address labor challenges.
