VISIT THE WATER CORNER AT EXPO!

When show management was brainstorming about how to give attendees more value for their visit to the Nursery/Landscape EXPO, we considered some of the topics and issues they are dealing with today. WATER rose to the top of the list. So, what did we decide to do...

The EXPO is partnering with the Texas Turf Irrigation Association (TTIA) on our irrigation tracks during the EXPO Education Conference on Thursday. The Irrigation Association classes have been chosen by TTIA and will be monitored by them as well. THANK YOU, TTIA!

We are going one step further. There will be a smart irrigation pod of suppliers that currently handle smart water technologies. This will be in Hall F close to the Food Cafe. Across the aisle from the "pod" will be organizations and state agencies that deal with water: TTIA, Irrigation Association, Texas A&M Irrigation Technology Center, Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, and the WaterWise Council. Finally, the WATER Corner will be rounded out with a discussion area that will be used by the smart irrigation companies or the organizations listed above for informal discussions on water. Be sure and look for the WATER Corner sign in Hall F by the Food Cafe!
