Educational Seminars

The Convention includes 15-20 hours of educational seminars for which a registration fee is imposed. Nationally recognized experts are invited to address a wide range of topics covering both horticulture and business management interests. MNLA members receive a substantial discount on registration fees for all Convention seminars as well as discounts on booth space in the Trade Show.

Networking

According to Montana Green Expo attendees, the best part of the Expo is a feature that can scarcely be advertised and isn’t really even on the schedule. It’s the networking, getting together with old and new colleagues, sharing successes and failures. While we’ve tried to formalize it with a couple of events like the “Breakfast of Champions", panel discussions, and “Great Green Ideas,” much of the best networking happens in the hallways between seminars, in the aisles of the trade show, or during gatherings at the end of the day.
