Four Reasons Why Your Boss Should Join You at ELEVATE

Want to attend ELEVATE but not sure how to convince your boss it’s worth the investment for both of you to attend? We’ve got you covered!

There are tons of reasons why ELEVATE, presented by NALP and powered by Caterpillar, is the must-attend industry event of the year, but we’ve summed it up into four key categories.

Boost Professional Development

ELEVATE offers a wide range of educational sessions on various landscaping topics. Learn about new techniques, best practices, and industry trends. Improve your skills and become a more valuable asset to the company.

We have over 30 education sessions and different focus areas including leadership development, growing the business, and industry hot topics. Some of the sessions include:

Network with Industry Professionals

ELEVATE brings together landscape professionals from across the country. This is a great opportunity to meet new people, share ideas, and build relationships that can be beneficial for both personal and professional growth.

From campfire sessions to the ELEVATE Bash at the NASCAR Hall of Fame, you will have multiple opportunities to connect with peers who are facing similar challenges and have fun at the same time.

Learn About New Products and Technologies

The expo hall at ELEVATE features leading vendors showcasing the latest equipment, products, and technologies in the landscaping industry. This allows you to stay up to date on advancements and potentially discover solutions that can improve your efficiency.

Our expo is designed to facilitate conversation, not to have you spend hours walking a giant show floor and waiting in line to demo equipment. Expect to see cutting-edge advancements in battery technology, robotic mowers and AI.

Gain Motivation and Inspiration

Last but certainly not least, ELEVATE can serve as a time to be reinvigorated. This event features keynote speakers and industry leaders who can inspire and motivate you and your boss. Gain a fresh perspective on your work and feel energized about your role in the landscaping industry.

Connecting with peers and realizing you are part of something bigger can open your eyes and give you a greater sense of purpose. Many landscape company owners see value in attending and bringing their employees to industry events for this reason alone.

We also have a letter you can download to share with your boss on why going to ELEVATE is a good idea.
