L&L Online Tip of the Week: Events/Calendar Page

Lawn & Landscape magazine and Lawn & Landscape Online strive to be the best networking tools at your disposal as professionals in the green industry. From our business-building conferences to the Lawn & Landscape Online Message Board, Lawn & Landscape makes every effort to bring industry business owners together to flesh out ideas and raise industry professionalism.

But business owners are busy men and women – how are they supposed to keep track of all the industry goings-on and be able to make time for the ones that suit them best? Once again, Lawn & Landscape has a solution.

The Lawn & Landscape Online Events/Calendar page is a frequently updated Web resource that lets you know what’s going on locally and around the country at a glance. Not only that, but because the events posted on the Events/Calendar page are tied into you’re "My Lawn & Landscape" account, you can create a custom calendar of the events that interest you most.

To get started, just click on the Events/Calendar button in the left column of the homepage. Scroll through the entire set of listings or set search parameters with keywords like “Irrigation” or “Business,” or within a certain date range. Then, just click “Add to My Schedule” to create your own custom calendar in you’re "My Lawn & Landscape" account.

Not only does the Lawn & Landscape Online Events/Calendar page allow users to find out about upcoming Lawn & Landscape conferences like the Weed & Insect Summit or Growing Your Business Seminars, but you’ll also find information about trade shows, training sessions, home and garden events and much more.
