The National Association of Landscape Professionals is debuting a new national conference September 18-21, 2022 in Orlando, Florida called ELEVATE.  Formerly known as LANDSCAPES and held in conjunction with GIE+EXPO, this new conference promises to bring a more focused and inspiring emphasis on the future of our industry.

Co-located with ELEVATE on Sunday, September 18, Caterpillar is presenting the Winning the Talent War workshop.  For five hours, attendees will kick off their conference week in an interactive workshop featuring take-home action plans for recruiting and hiring, as well as how to get the most out of every employee and retain the top performers in an ultra-competitive job market.  

Here’s the best part: for only $99, this workshop will allow attendees to attend the entire ELEVATE conference using the NALP member rate, saving $700 on non-member registration fees!  If you’ve ever wanted to elevate your business to the next level of professionalism but haven’t been ready to take the leap, this is your chance to come experience the best of the industry with the exclusive discount.

All you need to do is register for the Winning the Talent War workshop at this link and also register separately for the ELEVATE conference here.  Because this workshop is being offered in conjunction with the conference, it is not possible to register only for the workshop.

Your full registration for ELEVATE includes the Opening Networking Party, daily breakfast and lunch, daily networking receptions, the ELEVATE Expo, all education sessions, pools and waterpark at the hotel, and a closing party at Universal Orlando Resort.  It’s going to be an amazing experience to ELEVATE your company for success, so register today!
