Trade Show

by Holly Duren, Community Manager, Ashton Creek Farms

As a site level employee, I never knew the true value of my GNAA involvement. It wasn’t until I started with Timberland Partners in 2020 that I have become a more active member. In fact, the GNAA Trade Show is one of my favorite events held each year, simply because of the networking opportunities! Each year, my team and I rally the troops to go and enjoy dinner, drinks, and the company of other industry professionals (who like us, are stressed and have stories to tell). You have the chance to play games and win pretty amazing prizes, which also doubles as free team building!

GNAA works tirelessly to get some of the very best vendors to the Trade Show. Even if you don’t need their services now, you can have a contact in your back pocket. How amazing is that? Bring your business cards. From cash to TVs, drawings are happening every hour (talk about a moral boost, if you win)!

I have met some of the most talented people at this event, and starting those conversations and building those relationships are the foundation of having a full and complete “toolbelt” of resources. So if you haven’t been to the GNAA Trade Show in the past or just had a “passive” membership, now is the time. Start with the Trade Show and get a taste of what you are missing! Consider it just another added value the GNAA provides to its members.
