Formerly known as OFA Short Course, Cultivate '14 continued to offer premier educational & networking experiences, & more than 7 acres of trade show exhibits including technology, new products & services, & new plant varieties. They also expanded the products & services for retailers, nursery production, & landscaping. They expected thousands of people to attend from more than 20 countries.

As seen on their website, “The word 'cultivate' reflects what happens at the event. Thousands of people attend each year to cultivate their businesses and professional networks,” said Michael V. Geary, CAE, the President and CEO of AmericanHort. “Updating the brand of the 85-year-old event makes sense for the vision of AmericanHort. Cultivate captures the essence of what the experience is for our attendees.”

Will was invited to attend this U.S. premier convention and marketplace from July 12-15th.  He was available to assist all QuickBooks customers with their questions & to discuss their business needs. Some attendees have implemented the QuickBooks systems at their business while others have not. Obviously there is not enough time to fully discuss the product/s & show a demonstration at the show but the attendees had the opportunity to start the discussion. From there, we will continue to help them establish the best solution for their needs.
