Connecting Industry Leaders. Driving Innovation. Focused on Impact.

The Colorado Nursery and Greenhouse Association invites senior leaders across the horticulture industry to join us for an exclusive and reimagined Leadership Summit. This streamlined session is designed to bring relevance, actionable insights and genuine connection to the forefront—delivering high-impact programming that respects your busy schedule.

We heard from members that their most valuable insights and learning came from you – their peers. So we want to give you all an opportunity to spend dedicated time together, network and exchange experiences and ideas. This year, we’ve pivoted from our traditional multi-day retreat to a focused, single-day gathering that prioritizes what matters most:

• Fresh Perspectives: Gain practical insights from leaders tackling the biggest opportunities and challenges shaping our industry in 2025
• Peer Collaboration: Engage in meaningful conversations with your colleagues to share strategies, lessons learned, and innovative solutions
• Actionable Outcomes: Provide insight and discover how CNGA can amplify your success in the coming year and beyond

Why Attend? 

This Summit is more than a meeting—it’s a chance to invest in your professional growth, strengthen relationships, and chart a clear path forward for your business. Whether you're navigating market shifts, legislative changes, or planning for growth, you’ll leave equipped with ideas and tools to lead your company with confidence.
