Hello Floral Friends,
The countdown is on! The Global Produce & Floral Show is almost here, and I want to make sure our floral community is set to bloom big in Anaheim. To keep it fun, here are my Top 5 Floral Must-Dos to prepare for the show:
- Download the App – Search GPFS 2025 in your app store. This is your guide for schedules, maps, and on-the-go updates.
- Start Connecting Now – Once you’re registered, the attendee list is open. Schedule those meet-ups and make the most of your onsite time.
- Mark Your Floral Hours – Extended floral show hours mean more time to connect!
- Friday: 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM
- Saturday: 8:00–9:00 AM Buyer Preview (buyers, retailers & exhibitors only)
- Saturday: 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM General Show Hours
- Level Up With Education – From Navigating Global Currents with Dr. Arjun Chakravarti (followed by floral community discussions) to sessions on supply chain, sustainability practices, leadership, and global-to-local trends – the Education Festival has something for everyone. (Reminder: Education sessions require an All-Access pass. There’s still time to upgrade if you haven’t already!)
- Celebrate at the Floral Reception – Join us for a wickedly good time, mix and mingle with colleagues and friends, and raise a glass as we honor this year’s Floral Marketer of the Year.
Don’t forget to pack your curiosity (and your comfy shoes!) From the expo floor to the Education Festival, there’s no shortage of inspiration waiting for you. Let’s show the industry that floral is in full bloom at #GPFS2025. I can’t wait to see you there!
