Trade shows and events are evolving, and we are continuously striving to bring you the best event possible. The future is BRIGHT, and we\u2019re excited for you to join us on this adventure.<\/p>\n<p>First, you\u2019ll notice that we\u2019re 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&#8230;and so we&#8217;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\u2019ll 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.<\/p>\n<p>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\u2019s design. So, we invite you to join us in the all-new Northern Green Villages \u2013 each community within the larger event will have education, product and service showcases, social events, and peer sharing designed specifically for the community\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p>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 \u2013 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.<\/p>\n<p>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\u2019ll have a variety of experiences to choose from.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, we\u2019ll be launching a new flexible subscription registration model &#8211; 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!<\/p>\n<p>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!<\/p>\n<p>We hope you\u2019ll plan to join us for the next chapter of the Northern Green story in St. Paul in January and October 2024 \u2013 you won\u2019t want to miss it!<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-content-boxes content-boxes columns row fusion-columns-2 fusion-columns-total-2 fusion-content-boxes-1 content-boxes-icon-with-title content-left\" style=\"--awb-backgroundcolor:rgba(109,200,44,0.73);--awb-body-color:var(--awb-color1);--awb-title-color:var(--awb-color1);--awb-hover-accent-color:#3a4149;--awb-circle-hover-accent-color:#3a4149;\" data-animationOffset=\"top-into-view\"><div style=\"--awb-backgroundcolor:rgba(109,200,44,0.73);\" class=\"fusion-column content-box-column content-box-column content-box-column-1 col-lg-6 col-md-6 col-sm-6 fusion-content-box-hover content-box-column-first-in-row\"><div class=\"col content-box-wrapper content-wrapper-background link-area-link-icon icon-hover-animation-fade\" data-animationOffset=\"top-into-view\"><div class=\"heading icon-left\"><h2 class=\"content-box-heading fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"--h2_typography-font-size:21px;--fontSize:21;line-height:1;\">Submit Educational and Social Event Ideas and Input<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><div class=\"content-container\">\n<p>Want to submit ideas for educational content, a speaker idea, or a new format that you think Northern Green attendees would enjoy?
