“With so many businesses going remotely in 2020 due to COVID-19, technology was needed more than ever to make businesses function every day,” said Brian Horn, editor of Lawn & Landscape. “Crystal and Erica will give the audience an overview of how 2020 has changed the way companies move forward and how it works effectively.”
This is the second year for the Lawn & Landscape Technology Conference and will again be held in Orlando, Florida from August 31st to September 31st. 2, 2021 at a new location – Omni Orlando Resort at Championsgate.
