The 2026 AmericanHort Fall Meeting

Thank you to everyone who attending the AmericanHort Fall meeting held October 19-21, 2026 in Columbus, OH.

We appreciate the time you invested, the energy you brought to our conversations, and your continued commitment to our association and the horticulture industry.

Here are a few resources from that meeting for your reference:

  • Meeting Slides – here are meeting slides from Monday October 19. They include the presentation on transitioning from Community Connectors to Advisory Councils.
  • Notes from Industry Pulse – Voices from Across the Industry panel discussion – Each Advisory Council representative participated in a panel discussion. The group talked about current business conditions, challenges, opportunities, innovations, what to watch out for, and shared thoughts and ideas on how AmericanHort can best impact the industry.
