IGC Chicago will return to Navy Pier August 18 to 20, 2015. Both shows will offer the features the industry has come to expect, including thousands of new products, free, inspiring keynotes and headliner concerts, plus scores of conference sessions and networking opportunities.

"Baltimore Convention Center is a venue that is comfortably familiar and prized by our industry - it's home to the popular MANTS show in January, and the former home of the once-mighty, now-defunct Commerce Show," says IGC Show Founder Jeff Morey. "While IGC East is certainly not a distributor show, our intention is to fill the void that's existed since the Commerce Show left the scene in the East. Now, we're excited to serve garden center buyers in the region, bringing the IGC Show's signature all-category trade show, fully rounded educational conference, networking and one-of-a-kind fun and entertainment."

IGC East's location in Baltimore next summer offers world-class dining, shopping and entertainment along Inner Harbor, the city's seaport destination rich in history and redeveloped into a premier tourist attraction. "Not only is the Baltimore Convention Center one of the most strikingly unique architectural centers in the United States, Inner Harbor in summertime is absolutely incredible," Morey says. "During after-show hours, we're looking forward to seeing IGC show-goers along the waterfront, enjoying the many attractions Inner Harbor has to offer."

More details about IGC East and IGC Chicago, including next summer's keynotes and concerts at both events, will be announced soon. For more information about the IGC Show, visit www.IGCshow.com.
