IGIA Summer Conference & Annual Membership Meeting 

Traditionally, the IGIA Summer Conference is held at a location that allows everyone to get away from the business after a hectic spring season.  We all need a chance to relax, recharge, and reconnect with one another as colleagues and friends.  During the event, we host the Annual Membership Meeting, several group activities and dinners, and time for you to explore on your own or with friends and family.  We hope that all members of the green industry will take a well-deserved break and join us for some fun!
