NALP releases locations, dates for annual meetings in 2022 and 2023

FAIRFAX, Va. – On the heels of its virtual event in 2020, the National Association of Landscape Professionals announced the dates and locations of its new annual meeting in 2022 and 2023. 

After more than a decade in Louisville, co-located with GIE+EXPO, the association is returning to its roots, and moving its annual education and networking event to different cities around the country.

The dates and locations are as follows: 

• Sept. 18-21, 2022 - Gaylord Palms Resort & Conference Center, Orlando, Florida
• Sept. 10-13, 2023 - Gaylord Texan Resort & Conference Center, Dallas, Texas

“We’ve enjoyed our time in Louisville, but members have been asking us to move our meeting to new venues around the country, and the time has come to do that and grow the event and the association in the process,” said Britt Wood, NALP CEO. “The Gaylord properties are exceptional locations to hold the new annual meetings in the first two years, and we know that attendees will love the experience.”

A planning task force of contractors and supplier members selected the dates and locations with input from NALP members.

“We look forward to opening up new opportunities for attendees as we create the future NALP Annual Meeting experience, beginning in 2022,” Wood said. “In the meantime, we are focused on providing an innovative and exceptional LANDSCAPES conference for our last year in Louisville next October.”

LANDSCAPES 2021 will be held in Louisville, Oct. 19-22, 2021.
