Registration is still open for the 2026 Mid-Atlantic Nursery Trade Show (MANTS), which takes place January 7–9, 2026, at the Baltimore Convention Center.

Widely regarded as one of the most influential events in the horticulture industry, MANTS draws more than 11,000 highly engaged professionals and more than 900 top-tier exhibiting companies. In 2025, more than 82% of attendees were decision-makers or key influencers, reinforcing MANTS’s role as the green industry’s premier marketplace.

“MANTS isn’t just a trade show—it’s where serious business gets done,” said Vanessa A. Finney, Executive Vice President of MANTS. “Attendees return year after year because they find the right products, meet the right people, and make the right deals to grow their businesses.”

MANTS provides a dynamic environment for hands-on product discovery, peer-to-peer learning, and valuable networking with professionals from over 40 states and a dozen countries. Known as the show where deals are made, MANTS is where businesses secure inventory, write orders, and prepare for the season ahead — all under one roof.
