OFA Short Course named 150th largest trade show

The OFA Short Course trade show is named the 150th largest trade show by the annual edition of Trade Show News Network. The largest horticulture event for garden center retailers, greenhouse and nursery growers, landscapers, florists and interior plantscapers, the show debuted on the list six years ago at 194.

Trade Show News Network monitors data from almost 20,000 trade shows, exhibitions, public events and conferences, and annually ranks the impact of trade shows by the net square footage of space sold.

“We are very proud to make the list again this year. The show gets better each year because OFA is committed to making the Short Course a high value event for both attendees and exhibitors,” said Michael V. Geary, CAE, OFA’s Chief Executive Officer. “We are continually reminded that the OFA Short Course is the event to attend because it has everything you need for your business in one place. There is something for all segments of the industry here.”

The 2012 OFA Short Course will be held July 14-17 in Columbus, Ohio, and will have more than 1,500 exhibit spaces and 140 educational sessions. Attendees will come from the United States and nearly 25 other countries during the four-day event.
