Plant for impact: Grow community together

Make a difference during the Irrigation Show by joining fellow attendees for Plant for Impact: Grow community together, the show’s annual giveback event.

This year, the Irrigation Show is partnering with Garden Farms Foundation, a Las Vegas-based nonprofit dedicated to strengthening underserved communities through garden education, food security initiatives and sustainability programs.

Together, attendees will assemble 300 take-home garden kits for students participating in Garden Farms Foundation programs throughout the Las Vegas area. The kits are intended to encourage curiosity about growing food, environmental stewardship and sustainable practices while creating a meaningful connection between the irrigation industry and the communities it serves.

Stop by the Central Hall Lobby between 10 and 10:30 a.m. to join an assembly line and help pack kits for local students. Come early because the kits get packed quickly.

Attendees are also encouraged to share their experiences on social media using #IrrigationShow26. The event is free to attend, and no registration is required.

Start a conversation at the new Exchange Sessions

Some of the best ideas do not come from a presentation. They come from a conversation.

Taking place Wednesday, December 9 and Thursday, December 10, the new Exchange Sessions will bring irrigation professionals together for candid, facilitated discussions about the issues shaping the industry.

Sessions will explore contractor business growth and resilience, landscape policies and compliance and agricultural water management and regulations. Participants will also discuss topics such as conservation initiatives, technology adoption and the future of farming.

Each one-hour session offers 0.25 continuing education units. Attendees are invited to bring their questions, share real-world experiences and exchange solutions with professionals facing similar challenges and opportunities.

From assembling garden kits for local students to discussing the industry’s future, the Irrigation Show offers meaningful ways to connect, contribute and grow.
