Floral Update: Post GPFS Reflections

October 28, 2025

What an incredible week it was in Anaheim! The excitement throughout the Global Produce & Floral Show halls was absolutely palpable – from the moment we opened the doors, it was clear that this year’s event was something special. The structure may have been different, but the energy, creativity, and connection across our floral community shined brighter than ever.

It was wonderful to see everyone – to reconnect in person, meet new faces, and share in the spirit that makes this industry so remarkable. Everywhere I turned, I saw inspired conversations, new connections forming, and felt a renewed sense of momentum for floral. You all showed up!

A heartfelt congratulations to our many floral award winners who continue to raise the bar for excellence and innovation:

Kevin Prill, for Floral Marketer of the Year

Del Alma, for Best Island Booth in Floral

Kendall Farms, for Best Inline Booth in Floral

Dutchess Bouquets, for Best Sustainable Packing

Your creativity and leadership continue to inspire this entire community.

If you didn’t get a chance to check it out during the show, I also encourage you to explore IFPA’s brand-new Global Intelligence Engine. Launched at the show, this remarkable tool is designed to empower your business with insights and data you can actually use. This month’s Insights article was driven from the engine and its insights and capabilities. If you have any questions about the tool, please reach out to me directly and I’ll get you connected to our team.

Thank you again for making this year’s show so unforgettable. I’m so proud to be part of this floral family, and I can’t wait to see what’s next!
