Take a High-Level View of the Forces Shaping Your Business
November 13, 2022 
It’s far too easy today to get wrapped up in your day-to-day responsibilities and operate in your own bubble. Sometimes it’s important, even educational, to consider what’s happening in other markets beyond yours.
That’s one of the goals of Greenhouse Grower’s GROW Executive Summit, which offers a 360-degree look at the controlled-environment greenhouse market and the driving forces in consumer behavior and legislative and regulatory topics that will impact your business.
It all starts with Charlie Hall, Professor and Ellison Chair at Texas A&M University, offering a look at the green industry economic climate and forecast for 2023. Hall will take a deep dive into the performance of the green industry and the economic factors such as supply chain challenges, rising input costs, and inflation impacting it over the past year. He’ll predict what growers can expect in 2023 and share actionable steps operations can take to best position themselves for business success in the new year.
Following Hall will be an overview of two emerging markets: cannabis and greenhouse vegetables. Robert Erwin, Director of Cultivation at Copperstate Farms, will present a snapshot of the economic outlook, labor challenges, and other influences impacting the development of the cannabis market from the perspective of a long-time cannabis grower. Then, Michelle Klieger, Founder of Stratagerm Consulting, will offer a fresh view on the economics, challenges, and forces shaping the fresh vegetables market.
The GROW Executive Summit gives you a chance to learn from your peers. A panel of greenhouse grower executives will share their insights in a candid discussion on their top takeaways from the GROW Executive Summit and their own perspectives on what makes a successful greenhouse business in 2023 and beyond. Moderated by Janeen Wright, Editor of Greenhouse Grower, panelists include
- Abe VanWingerden, Metrolina Greenhouses
- Mike Vallafskey, Dan and Jerry’s Greenhouse
- Brian Cook, President, Local Bounti
- Robert Erwin, Director of Cultivation, Copperstate Farms
