Take a Student Out

28 September 2025

Help welcome the next generation of horticulture professionals by inviting a student or first-time attendee to join you for a meal! Student participants will be easy to spot with a gold flag attached to their badge, so keep an eye out.

There are several “on your own” meal times scheduled during the meeting, and this is a perfect opportunity for seasoned members to share their experiences, answer questions, and build connections over a meal. Your hospitality goes a long way in making students and newcomers feel included and ensures that IPPS continues its tradition of Seeking and Sharing Knowledge across generations.

  • Dinner: 7pm Sunday 19 October 
  • Lunch: 12-1:30pm Tuesday 21 October 
  • Dinner: 6-8pm Wednesday 22
