March 7th & 8th at the beautiful TPC in Cromwell, Connecticut. These immersive days are built to inspire your creativity, strengthen your business, and expand your industry connections.

We begin each morning with a Meet & Greet, giving you time to connect with fellow florists, network with instructors and influencers, and meet your wholesalers. Start each day energized, supported, and ready to learn.

Enjoy a delicious lunch both days, included with your registration—perfect for networking, sharing ideas, and building lasting industry relationships.
