Alexandria, Va. – The National Floriculture Forum (NFF) has announced its 2017 annual meeting will be held in Philadelphia March 17-19, 2017 during the Philadelphia International Flower Show.
Participants of the meeting will attend the show and tour Longwood Gardens, and gather to discuss increasing the younger generation's involvement in production and academic floriculture and horticulture.
Members of the Young Professionals Council (YPC) will also attend and discuss their work on this topic.
"I am very excited to be planning the 2017 event in Philadelphia. This is so important for the floriculture community, as it is one of the few events where academia and industry come together to discuss the pressing issues of floriculture," says Krystal Snyder, 2017 NFF event coordinator and YPC member.
"This year's event is focused on ways to get the younger generation involved, and I am enthusiastic because the current generation has a wealth of knowledge to be shared."
