Morgantown, PA GRIFFIN'S VIRTUAL EXPO
Knoxville, TN
Richmond, VA
Thank you to everyone that logged on and attended our Virtual Expo. As in-person
GREEN-GOODS events came to a standstill, Griffin, like many organizations, was faced with the
LOCATIONS challenge of finding a way to transform our annual Expos into our first-ever live Virtual
General Inquiries Expo. After reviewing multiple platforms, it was apparent that we needed to create a
1.800.323.7253 custom platform to offer our customers the best experience.
Lisle, IL Attendees were presented with Expo favorites such as Profit Parkway, Expo Extras
Morgantown, PA
and educational presentations. They were able to communicate with vendors, our
sales team, and participate in live Q & A sessions with our key presenters through
All articles and material featured in chats and video meetings. Product videos, vendor literature and our ladybug search
this Gazette cannot be duplicated game enhanced the interactive experience. We were delighted when customers and
without written permission. Copy- vendors enjoyed using the platform so much that they asked us to extend the show

The timing of the Virtual Expo coincided with our release of our new Gardening Survey
which attendees were able to download and review. It gives insight into the future
trends of homeowner gardening habits. If you haven’t had a chance to review the
survey it is now available to download on our website.
We’re already looking forward to next year and implementing some of the great
suggestions we’ve received. We hope that you had a chance to attend this year’s
event, but if you didn’t or you did and just want to review some of the great information,
you can still access the site. Visit Griffins.com for more information.
We could not have accomplished this event without the help and support from our
vendor partners, presenters, Griffin team members and most importantly you. We
all hope that 2021 gives us the opportunity to see you in person as well as virtually.
Our dates for next year are: Griffin Virtual Expo Sept. 13-24th and Lancaster, PA –
