Congress 2025 promises to be bigger than ever
Registration for Congress 2025 is now open online. The premier event, known as Canada’s largest annual and longest running trade show and conference for landscape professionals, will take place Jan. 7-9, 2025, at the Toronto Congress Centre.
Produced by Landscape Ontario, Congress is a one-stop-shop for the latest equipment, tools, materials and supplies. Organizers have expanded the show floor this year to include more exhibitors, and to feature an all-new electric-power demonstration area.
The cost for a trade show only pass is $30 for an association member and $50 for a non-member. Students, media and educators get in free of charge. Pass holders get access to all three days of the trade show, plus LIVE Stage demos and the Wednesday night Tailgate Party (this year themed ‘Octoberfest’).
Conference sessions for everyone
The Congress Conference is back with industry expert speakers covering topics from growing trees to growing your business reputation through social media (and everything in between). Sessions run the first half of each show day to allow attendees to learn in the morning, then explore the trade show and free LIVE stage education while on site.
A three-day Conference Pass is $275 for a provincial association member, $325 for non-member or $50 for a student or educator. Prices go up after Dec. 15. A Conference Pass also gets you admission to the Tailgate Party and recorded access to all sessions for a limited time.
Featured events
Tickets are available for two warm up events held at the Delta Hotel Toronto Airport (across the street from the Toronto Congress Centre) on Monday, Jan. 6, 2025. The Landscape Designers Conference is a full-day event with lunch and closing reception. Each conference session qualifies for one Landscape Horticulture Certification (LHCP) CEU. The Landscape Ontario (LO) Peer to Peer Network will also host a full-day event with lunch that is open to all LO member business owners.
Early bird pricing for Monday events is available until Dec. 15, and includes access to all three days of the trade show, LIVE Stage education and Tailgate Party. Visit LOcongress.com/feature-events for more details and full pricing.
