SOME THINGS OLD, A LOT NEW AT PLANET’S 2008 GREEN INDUSTRY CONFERENCE

HERNDON, Va., September 5, 2008 — The Professional Landcare Network (PLANET) will once again be offering the popular networking event, Breakfast With Champions, to attendees of its Green Industry Conference (GIC) in Louisville, Kentucky, October 22–25, 2008. Over breakfast, during this fun and highly energetic PLANET tradition, more than 80 roundtable groups will discuss topics of interest to their businesses with industry experts and their colleagues. Anyone planning to attend this event is encouraged to sign up now as it fills up quickly.

In addition to the numerous workshops that are the mainstay of GIC, this year’s conference will feature several green/sustainability sessions and an Exhibit Hall Learning Center, where attendees can observe as well as gain hands-on experience on the newest green industry equipment. Also, new this year at GIC, Certified Landscape Professional review sessions will be offered over the course of the three days leading up to testing on Saturday, October 25, 2008. Conference attendees will have even more access to industry experts during Ask the Experts sessions on topics covering lawn care, landscape management, and design/build/installation.

Opportunities for fun are also part of the GIC experience, and this year attendees can take advantage of events such as a golf outing, a tour of Churchill Downs, a live benefit auction, and free concerts featuring .38 Special and LONESTAR.
