SAF to host two in-person learning events this fall

The Society of American Florists' 1-Day Profit Blast will be headed to Denver, Colorado, on Oct. 11 and San Marcos, Texas, on Nov. 9. Retail florists across the country are invited to join peers for a day of networking and education, which will provide ready-to-implement strategies to cut costs and maximize profitability before the busy holiday season. 

Both events, which last six hours (11:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m.), include lunch, time to connect with other florists, ask questions, share advice, three education sessions with expert presenters and a supplier showcase with vendors for sourcing hard goods, floral product, technology and more.
