Why Sponsor the Annual Conference at Farwest

This event brings together GardenComm’s annual conference audience in a highly concentrated, in-person setting during Farwest—creating a focused opportunity for brands that want live engagement, product visibility, and relationship-building.

For trade brands, this is where sponsorship becomes more than presence. It becomes an opportunity to support new product launches, create memorable brand interaction, generate content, and build stronger familiarity with communicators who help bring horticultural ideas, products, and trends to wider audiences.

  • Product Sampling: Put products in the hands of approximately 50+ professional communicators who will take them home, test them, and share results with their audiences.

  • Educational Opportunities: Host a hands-on demonstration, mini-workshop, or presentation that gives attendees direct exposure to your products and expertise.

  • Content Creation: Many attendees will create content during and after the event, creating opportunities for social posts, blog coverage, articles, and media mentions.

  • Long-Term Relationships: The in-person setting supports deeper, more memorable connections than digital-only exposure.
