  • IGCA Congress Early Bird Deadline Approaching

    April 22, 2008

    It's your last chance to sign up for the International Garden Centre Association (IGCA) Congress at the Early Bird Rate of $3,750 (in Canadian dollars). On May 1, the fee will increase 10 percent. If you haven't already registered, you can do so online at .

    IGCA Congress 2008 is an all-inclusive event. Your Congress registration fee covers a wide range of costs once you arrive in Vancouver, British Columbia, including:

    • Transportation from Vancouver International Airport (YVR) to and from the Westin Bayshore Hotel via Airporter Shuttle.
    • Hotel accommodations at the Westin Bayshore.
    • Meals and, in some cases, wine or beer. Gratuities for meal service are also included.
    • Admission, entry or activity fees, where applicable.
    • Tour transportation of all sorts, plus tour hosts and guides on your buses.
    • Translators will be provided wherever possible, or where a minimum number of native speakers has been met.
    • An IGCA Congress tour guidebook, plus some mementos of the event.

    Still deciding whether Congress is worth the price of admission? The online itinerary has been updated to give you a preview of everything you'll see and do while visiting Canada! This activity-packed week includes 21 garden center and horticulture industry stops, plus several local attractions and points of interest.
