Northern Green 2024 Launching the Next Chapter
Join us in Saint Paul, Minn. – January 23-25, 2024!
After gathering feedback from members, exhibitors, and volunteers – we’re excited to share that Northern Green will be transforming starting in January of 2024. Trade shows and events are evolving, and we are continuously striving to bring you the best event possible. The future is BRIGHT, and we’re excited for you to join us on this adventure.
First, you’ll notice that we’re on the move! We heard loud and clear from members and exhibitors that there was a desire to move the show out of Minneapolis following the tragic events of recent years. While we have enjoyed nearly 20 years at the Minneapolis Convention Center, evolution and growth often demand change…and so we’re pleased to launch a new chapter of the Northern Green story in St. Paul, and in addition, showcase a new and interactive Northern Green October event that will be held at an outdoor venue. We’ll be able to celebrate the season kick off and start to wrap up the year with a Northern Green experience on both ends! Northern Green becomes a year-round hub for all communities of the green industry, with the education, networking, and tools you need to grow your business and career.
The indoor portion of the event will still take place in January, just one week later, January 23-25, 2024 with events at RiverCentre, Roy Wilkins Auditorium, as well as a variety of other event and restaurant locations close by in St. Paul. Finding your colleagues and making connections is at the center of the event’s design. So, we invite you to join us in the all-new Northern Green Villages – each community within the larger event will have education, product and service showcases, social events, and peer sharing designed specifically for the community’s needs. For example, are you a landscape designer who wants to connect with other designers and architects? Are you a landscape management pro who wants to meet with other lawn and landscape pros? The goal is to provide an experience with tools and connections you can take back to your workplace to be even more effective.
The addition of an outdoor component to the Northern Green umbrella allows for more demonstrations, hands-on education/installations, and interactive experiences at the one-day October event in 2024. Plus, suppliers will be able to feature outdoor equipment in its natural environment – test drive a mower, take a spin in that mini-excavator, or purchase a plow for the upcoming snow season. A variety of quick-hitting educational events will also be included.
Both event components, January and October, will feature curated social events to network and engage with your industry peers. This will be your opportunity to connect in a low-key, fun, and intentional way. Not everyone wants to interact in the same way, so we’ll have a variety of experiences to choose from.
Finally, we’ll be launching a new flexible subscription registration model – register for one event or both all at one time to make it as easy as possible. Plus, send different team members on the same ticket!
While the big picture pieces are in place, many details are still in the development process. Are you interested in participating? See two opportunities below to get involved in the planning process!
We hope you’ll plan to join us for the next chapter of the Northern Green story in St. Paul in January and October 2024 – you won’t want to miss it!
