Sponsor, Advertise & Exhibit at the World Rose Festival
The World Rose Festival is being held indoors at the newly expanded Vancouver Convention and Exhibition Centre in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada on June 19-21, 2009. This one-time event will provide an opportunity for an expected 15,000 visitors from throughout British Columbia and North America’s West Coast to experience the Rose in its many forms. Visitors will learn about growing roses in the mixed garden using informal, easy care earth friendly gardening techniques. They will admire, purchase and enjoy numerous other components of the Festival, such as:
- Vancouver & American Rose Society Judged Rose Show
- Feature display gardens
- Landscaper display gardens
- Judged exhibits of floral arrangements, art & photography
- A marketplace selling plants and accessories
- Garden clubs and breeders information kiosks
- Educational lectures and workshops
- The World Rose Festival will be a huge event for Vancouver, taking the place of the VanDusen Flower & Garden Show (which welcomed, at its peak, about 15,000 people through its gates) and reminiscent of the overwhelmingly successful 1999 World Orchid Exposition, which brought 17,000 visitors through the Vancouver Convention & Exhibition Centre. These two events put home gardens and orchids on the consumer map. We are going to put the Rose there too!
- Reach an expected 15,000 breeders, growers, retailers, authors and hobbyists from North America’s West Coast at this one time indoor event.
- Build brand awareness and broaden your organization’s reputation in national and international markets.
- Increase sales and be recognized for supporting Rose societies and communities.
- Encourage the expanding hobby of gardening, which has a positive effect on the economy and the environment.
