Plantscape Industry Expo, formerly known as CalScape Expo, specializes in helping interiorscape companies grow their businesses. Conference sessions will inspire attendees with new ideas & techniques for every area of business.
“The Leader within You,” is the topic for keynote Captain Mark Hoog. Growing your business and your team takes leadership and Hoog will discuss how to rediscover and act upon lifelong passions to unlock a unique leadership role and style.

It spotlights products used in interior plantscape; living wall; patio; rooftop; holiday and special event; green roof; and floral installations. It is unique in the depth and range of products, foliage, containers, and specialty items presented by exhibitors.
Meeting & learning from peer-professionals is extremely valuable to attendees and this year’s networking events include the Welcome Party in the Exhibitor Showcase, Lunch with TED, Showcase Buffet Lunch, Awards Gala, industry tour, and more.
