What a Class! By Tim Hodson

The Greater Columbus Convention Center is really humming with activity as we enter Day 3 of the educational sessions and Day 2 of the trade show at Cultivate’15.

Last night, GPN magazine hosted a special reception where we recognized the members of the Class of 2015 of GPN’s 40 Under 40. Twenty-four honorees were on hand as we celebrated the accomplishments that these individuals have achieved so far in their careers as well as the promise they hold for the industry’s future.

It was great to get such a collection of creative and enthusiastic individuals together in one room! Take it from me, we have a bright future ahead of us with these young men and women.

A special “Thank You!” goes out to our 40 Under 40 sponsors who made this year’s celebration possible – AmericanHort, BioWorks, Fine, Dümmen Orange, HGTV Home Plant Collection, Nufarm, Nexus and Proven Winners.

If you are at Cultivate15, don’t forget you can Mix ‘n Mingle with members of the Class of 2015 at 11 a.m. this morning in the foyer of Ballrooms 4 and 5 in the convention center.

I’ll meet you by the escalators.

– Tim
