The Garden Writers Association (GWA) is one of the most unique writers’ organizations in North America. GWA members are the critical information link between the lawn and garden industry and the gardening public.
Who Should Exhibit
The purpose of the exhibit is to provide a forum to exchange information between lawn & garden product manufacturers and North America's premier garden communicators. The exhibition, which will take place September 19-20, 2008, is held in conjunction with the 60th GWA Annual Symposium to be held September 19- 22, 2008, at the Doubletree Lloyd Center Hotel. Please note that the Symposium continues two days after the last exhibition date.
The special focus of the exhibition will be individual product and technology information displays for consumer lawn & garden products and services.

Receive Maximum Exposure
In addition to the exposure received during the official exhibit hours, each exhibit space includes a full meeting registration. By participating in the daily activities and tours, exhibitors can build personal relationships with key garden writers and editors. When it comes to networking and building valuable personal contacts, no other meeting offers garden product manufacturers and service providers a greater opportunity.
Booth Space
The layout of exhibit space is shown on the enclosed official floor plan. Booth sizes are 8'(D) x10'(W), and the location of each booth is believed to be accurate but is only warranted to be approximate. No exhibit display should exceed 8' in height. No exhibitor shall assign, sublet, or share the whole or any part of the booth space allotted unless prior approval is granted by the exhibit manager.
