Keynote Presentation: Searching for the End of Uncertainty

Speaker: Charlie Hall Ph.D., Ellison Chair in International Floriculture, Texas A&M University

The uncertainty of COVID forced florists to reimagine business models and implement within months changes that would have taken years before. After adapting to these new ways of doing business the industry is now in a vastly different economic climate.

Driven by research and real examples from the past year, Charlie provides a snapshot of the state of the supply chain, the economic outlook for the post-pandemic world and how the industry will evolve over the coming years, including the changing role of the traditional florist, the increased importance of vertical coordination between segments and the consumer behavior trends guiding these insights.
