The NFF is an annual educational meeting for greenhouse growers, industry leaders, university faculty, graduate students, and government scientists from academic institutions, governmental agencies, and the greenhouse industry. This group of floriculturists has been meeting since 1999.

The NFF brings together diverse floricultural communities with the objectives to:
• Address issues of importance to the floriculture industry
• Form collaborative relationships
• Improve communication within the floriculture industry to share and disseminate information.
