GIE Adds Irrigation to Educational Offerings

The Green Industry Expo will begin offering irrigation-focused seminars at this year’s event in St. Louis.

The Green Industry Expo is getting its feet wet this year. Set for Nov. 5-8 in St. Louis, the event’s educational lineup will feature a complete irrigation track – for the first time ever. 

Topics within the irrigation track will include:

  • Water conservation scheduling principles
  • Integrated water management
  • Master planning irrigation systems
  • Four steps to better profit for irrigation systems
  • “We are very excited about this technical track,” shared Debra Holder, ALCA executive vice president. “More than 40 percent of convention attendees are from companies offering irrigation services. Having an expanded irrigation track will offer a more compelling reason for contractors to attend and bring their supervisors.”

    Sponsors of the industry expo – the Associated Landscape Contractors of America (ALCA), Professional Lawn Care Association of America (PLCAA) and Professional Grounds Management Society (PGMS) – have worked together to offer this new educational track.
