Seeley Summit to focus on water

After a two-year hiatus, the 2014 Seeley Summit will be held June 22-24, 2014 in Lisle, IL (outside Chicago). There, floriculture leaders will gather to consider how water scarcity will affect their industry’s entire supply chain — including growers, retailers, landscapers, and consumers.

Seeley Summits seek to promote discussion of issues important to the future of commercial floriculture. The meetings are structured to foster discussion by industry leaders and increase the level of understanding of topics through presentations by speakers with a wide range of backgrounds and experiences. The goal of the Summit is to better prepare attendees to make decisions on issues that have a great impact on their businesses and the industry as a whole.

The Seeley Summit evolved from the Seeley Conference, which was established in 1986 in honor of Dr. John G. Seeley (1915-2007) after his retirement from Cornell University and was held on campus annually. After the 26th conference in 2011, the conference’s board of directors began extensive research and re-imagining of the conference. The result: a new, easy-to-reach venue, a shorter program, and a more focused opportunity to hear from renowned experts in the field.
