Choice Marketing hosts its prestigious Members and Suppliers' event every year which provides an unrivalled platform for networking and business. It's commercial in a relaxed, friendly as well as collaborative atmosphere
This is fast becoming one of the main staples of the garden retail calendar and at this year's October 2024 event we had a remarkable turnout with almost 400 delegates in attendance and 130 trade show stands
The Choice Marketing Conference, Trade Show and Gala Evening brings together key players in the garden industry to discuss and consider some of the key issues that face the sector. Notable business leaders and experts present impactful and thought-provoking content to inspire and inform.
The Conference sees commercial updates, insights, and category presentations from the Choice team with a variety of selected industry speakers and suppliers presenting and informing the membership as well.
Alongside this, the event provides plenty of opportunities for networking across the industry, with suppliers also bringing the latest product innovations and offers to showcase at the all-day Trade Show. An ideal opportunity for establishing partnerships new and reaffirming current ones.
One of the many highlights of the event is the Gala Evening's dinner presentation of the coveted “Supplier of the Year Awards”. Awards are presented in several categories: Sundries, Plants, Furniture & Outdoor Living, Gift & Home as well as Non-Retail Services, all of which are determined through votes cast by our esteemed Members. This ensures the best in each sector receive the recognition they deserve.
The insights gained here from both delegates and exhibitors, as well as ideas shared and connections made, can really help to drive businesses forward.
