BALTIMORE, MD - Master Nursery Garden Centers has selected IGC East for its Master Nursery Eastern Regional Member Meeting home. Master Nursery members will have the opportunity to discuss key issues impacting the buying group alongside IGC East's trade show, conference and networking events at the Baltimore Convention Center, Aug. 4 to 6, 2015.
Master Nursery's management and board of directors decided to discontinue the Master Nursery Conclave at the PANTS Show in Philadelphia. Previously, the event included the group's Eastern Regional Member Meeting, which will now be held at the IGC East Show in Baltimore.
"IGC East has established itself as the leading show on the East Coast for independent garden center retailers, and we're pleased now to make accessing the breadth of the resources there even more convenient for our members," says Jeff Lafferty, CEO of Master Nursery Garden Centers.
"Master Nursery Garden Centers' membership of more than 550 independent garden centers is the perfect fit with IGC East since independent garden center retailing is what we're 100 percent focused on at our two events," says Jeff Morey, Founder and CEO of the IGC Show, which also convenes at Chicago's Navy Pier, August 18-20, 2015.
More details about IGC East and IGC Chicago, including next summer's spotlight keynotes and concerts at both events, will be announced soon. For more information about the IGC Show, visit
