This year more than ever- we’re all looking forward to breaking out of isolation and seeing our floral friends again in a fun, familiar and educational environment! It’s time….. and the time is September 16th-18th at the Miami Beach Convention Center! Let’s break down the vibes:
- A NEW DATE…… that’s been safely planned for post-vaccine safety. With the guidance of event industry associations UFI, AEO, and SISO, Diversified Communications has adapted the All Secure Standards. In addition to this set of best practices, each Diversified Communications event will follow the recommendations from public health officials, federal, state, and local authorities, and venues.
- NEW PRODUCTS…. sourced from vendors across the globe ranging from retail products, production products, technology, wraps, supplies and services. And unveiled for the first time, a NEW re-designed, spacious Product Gallery with new pedestals, glass cases and signage for an ever-important 360° view.
- PEER CONNECTIONS….. ranging from hotel gatherings, education sessions, meetings, parties and much more! It’s been a long year, so don’t miss out on seeing your besties in September to re-connect and share valuable business ideas!
- AFFORDABLE PRICING….. no expensive memberships, no expensive admission fees AND key buyers qualify for FREE attendance benefits to generate an easy ROI for exhibitors. Key buyers can enjoy the benefits of bringing their multi-member team together for a full year of planning without those exorbitant membership and admission fees.
- MULTI-CHANNELS ARE WELCOMED…. regardless of your retail genre (traditional florist, mass market, drugstore, C-store or e-commerce), EVERYONE is welcomed! In a world that can often be fragmented and compartmentalized, you are sure to find common topics and business ideas to share, regardless of your specialty within the industry. We celebrate diversity!
