New to both the EIGC – The Eastern Show for IGCs and IGC Show Chicago, attendees will have the opportunity to get a taste of the IGC Retailer Conference during Tuesday morning’s sessions – FREE and open to all. Judy Sharpton and Steve Bailey will get the conversation started in a new interactive conference format. Attendees are encouraged to bring their toughest challenges for solutions they can take back to their store and jump in with the ideas that could help the IGC retailer sitting next to them. They’ll also enjoy free coffee and donuts. Preregistration is not required to attend Tuesday’s free sessions.
Those registering for the full retail education program at the IGC Retailer Conference will take back ideas for their store from five all-new tracks exploring the latest in selling to Millennials, visual merchandising, store spruce-ups, garden center finances, and floral. Matt Britton, America’s Leading Expert on Selling to Millennials, will headline the conference this summer. Britton, whose global digital marketing agency, MRY, specializes in younger generations, has consulted more than half the Fortune 500 on Millennial marketing strategies, including Procter & Gamble, Visa, CocaCola, Nike, and Microsoft. Britton’s track, titled after his best-selling book, opens with the session, “Who Are These Creatures We Call ‘Millennials’ & What Do They Want from Us?”
Britton will detail what Millennials look for in their shopping experiences and how garden centers can deliver that to win their business long-term.
DISCO DIVA GLORIA GAYNOR’S ANTHEM ‘I WILL SURVIVE’ HAS NEW HOME IN THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS
WASHINGTON – Disco diva Gloria Gaynor’s inspirational anthem “I Will Survive” has been added to the Library of Congress’ National Recording Registry in Washington, DC, which preserves sound recordings that have cultural, artistic, and historical importance to American society. IGC retailers can see Gaynor perform this hit live in a special Tuesday evening disco-retro party and concert this summer at EIGC – The Eastern Show for IGCs.
Gaynor was featured on CBS News recently to celebrate this latest achievement and learn more about the song’s making. To watch the interview, visit IGC’s website. Gaynor commented on how the song has held special meaning for her: “’ I Will Survive’ is my mantra, the core of my God-given purpose. It is my privilege and honor to use it to inspire people around the world of every nationality, race, creed, color, and age group to join me as I sing and live the words: ‘I Will Survive.’”
