LO Congress is our profession's homecoming Congress is much more than a trade show and conference; it is the largest gathering of landscape professionals in Canada, and it's a homecoming for the landscape family. I look forward to connecting with you there on Jan. 7-9, 2020. Ask your favourite supplier for a free VIP Pass to the show. LO members can also use a member code to register for free, and to get special pricing for the conference program. Mark your calendars, and don't forget to check out the Warm-Up Monday events on Jan. 6. Visit locongress.com for details and a full schedule of events. |
