PPA offering hybrid grower event in 2021

The Perennial Plant Association (PPA), an organization composed of growers, retailers, landscape designers and contractors, educators, and others who are professionally involved in the herbaceous perennial industry, has announced a new format for its 2021 National Symposium. PPA will be presenting a Hybrid National Symposium that will showcase world-renowned speakers on a virtual platform to allow perennial plant professionals and enthusiasts to safely connect and learn with colleagues from around the country and world.

The Virtual National Symposium education will be paired with short, small, outdoor, regional PPA pop-up gatherings held at locations around the U.S. These pop-ups will provide the opportunity to connect and network, while allowing the flexibility to adapt to local, state, and regional guidelines and recommendations for safe gatherings.

The Virtual National Symposium will take place July 27-29, 2021 and dates for the PPA pop-ups will be announced in the coming months. The Hybrid National Symposium replaces the 2021 National Symposium that was planned to take place in Lancaster, PA. The PPA Board of Directors unanimously approved that the in-person National Symposium in Lancaster, PA, be cancelled for 2021.

PPA is committed to returning to Lancaster for the 2022 National Symposium, which will take place Aug. 1-5, 2022 at the Lancaster Marriott At Penn Square. The 2023 National Symposium will be in Niagara Falls, Ontario, July 24-28, 2023 at the Sheraton On The Falls.

This early decision allows PPA's staff and volunteer leaders to focus all time and energy on designing and executing the best possible Hybrid National Symposium.
