Our Expo 2031 Minnesota, USA Presentation will include:
Flower Power: Creating a World Horticultural Expo and it's Legacy
Is the U. S. Garden Consumer Market ready to lead the way to the next World Expo in the USA, we think so.
Hosting a A1 World Horticultural Exposition in Minnesota, USA in 2031 would be a first.
This presentation will Include an overview and insights behind the official Expo 2031 Application update from key designers and contributors, this presentation will share the insight behind the Theme, Site Design, Horticultural Programming, Sustainability Legacy and US Consumer Engagement Strategy. A US World Horticultural Expo has the power to convene and augment the US Horticultural Industry, a key segment of the overall green industry. This behind the scenes look will also focus on how leveraging the expertise of the Horticulture Industry will bring in a new era of Expo legacy to American Consumers transforming the US Garden-loving public into Plant and Climate-educated globally-minded citizens.
From industry impact to US Consumer Engagement and Experienced- this is a different type of Expo.
Our Expo 2031 Minnesota, USA Application team is focused on three key areas:
Site Design/ Horticultural Theme/Programming- David Loehr + Ryan McEnaney
Sustainability/ Legacy- Dina Storey
Theme Extension / Communications and Digital Platforms- Wendy Meadley
The application is more streamlined than its world or specialized expo counterparts that are voted on by countries. Expo 2031 is focused on building international industry relations and trade at its core. From that baseline we have engaged U. S. federal, Minnesota state, Horticulture trade and Key stakeholders to support a solid framework to build upon.
While there are two primary phases, the Application and the Design/Development, Build, we also see three conceptual engagement phases post Application approval including: World Community, Metaverse and Digital Twin.
