About the Event
InVigorateU is an annual education event focused on two elements that propel our industry -- people and plants!
Our program theme this year of Growing Forward is apropos in so many ways. Many individuals from diverse backgrounds with varying perspectives, a spectrum of skills, and ranging strategies for their businesses come together here to share and make the green industry stronger. That collective, productive, sometimes crazy blend keeps us moving forward.
Growing Forward, too, is an apt beacon leading the unification in the spring of 2023, as the Illinois Landscape Contractors and IGIA join forces to serve the industry. This natural result of stronger collaboration over the past several years truly allows us to speak with one compelling voice in the future. Yes, plants, shrubs, trees, landscaping, irrigation, and nearly all things green are our passion, but ultimately, we’re a people industry. Absorb the messages of our tremendous speakers, get some CEUs under your belt, but most of all step back from your hectic schedule for a few days to re-energize and re-connect with old friends and create new ones.
