Griffin Announces Dates For 2015 Grower And Retailer Expos

Posted by Amanda Gallagher|November 10, 2014

Griffin Greenhouse Supplies (Griffin) has announced the dates for its 2015 Grower and Retailer Expos. The company will again host two expo events next year, each spanning two days. The expos will feature suppliers and educational sessions representing each of Griffin’s three divisions — hard goods, green goods and retail supplies.

The Massachusetts Expo will take place August 26 to 27, 2015, at the Eastern States Exposition Center in West Springfield, Mass. It’s a familiar venue for many Griffin customers throughout the Northeast; the company has hosted an expo here since 2006.

The Pennsylvania Expo is set for September 30 to October 1, 2015, at the Lancaster County Convention Center in Lancaster, Pa. Griffin held its first Expo at this location in 2014, after outgrowing its previous venue.

“The new Lancaster venue was a big change for our customers, exhibitors and staff,” Griffin President Rick Hyslip says, “And it was very well received. Attendees appreciated the convenience of having exhibitors, educational sessions, catering and other aspects of the event under one roof.”

The expos are an annual staple for Griffin customers dating back to 1981. The events serve to kick off the booking season, offering customers a range of expo-exclusive promotions, booking specials and educational opportunities.
