[CONNECT] is a lot more personal. We have a full 50 minutes to talk about issues that we need solved or improvements that we feel other companies can help us with.”
Kyle Brupbacher, Metrolina Greenhouses
The 1-1 attention makes a big difference. You have a lot more time to drill into more details. I like the fact that it is a condensed event; it makes the conversations more substantial.”
Fabian Saenz, Costa Farms
So the first night, we had the roundtable discussions. And honestly, if I had to go home that night, it would have been worth the travel here. That was an awesome event.”
Dave Ogle, Aris Horticulture
It’s a very valuable use of your time because your schedule is laid out. All the hard, nitty gritty dirty work is done prior to us getting here, so we can get right down to what we need to talk about.”
Josh Panto, Grower Direct Farms
This is my third year, and out of each one there have been some good connections that have followed through with the end result of doing business with who I met here. It’s worked out very well.”
Mike Leubecker, Tidal Creek Growers / SunMed Growers
At CONNECT, you have 50 minutes of face time 1:1 to talk about whatever you want with the CEO/owner of the companies. So you get top notch information.”
Michael Roe, Windmill Nursery of Louisiana

Leading Up To the Event
We work with you to develop an Operation Business Profile to help us to identify your operation’s strategic goals and challenges, both short- and long-term. This profile will be shared with invited Business Partners during the matching process.
-
We also work with each Business Partner to highlight their company’s technologies and services. The information is compiled to create the Business Partner Profile.
-
You review the profiles of all the participating partner companies and let us know which ones you want to meet with. At the same time, partners review the Operation Business Profiles of all grower attendees to ascertain their ability to help operations meet their goals.
-
Meetings are scheduled for you based on your interest and the responses from the partners. The meetings that match up become your approved on-site meeting schedule.
-
Once all meetings are approved by you and the partners, we share your contact information with them so that they can reach out and set an agenda for the on-site meeting. This helps facilitate the meeting and make the most of your time together at the event.
During the Event
You participate in two full days of private one-on-one, 50-minute business meetings with the decision makers from leading supplier companies. In addition, there are plentiful high-value networking opportunities during meals and social functions. Growers are invited to attend a special program onsite where they can network, share insights and discuss market intel with their peers at other large growing operations in the country.
The Value
You leave GreenhouseCONNECT with new relationships, solutions and specific follow-up plans developed during your meetings. Our team will continue to work with you and the partners post-event to ensure that action items are addressed and relationships continue to grow.
