OFA Short Course has been recognized as one of the top 25 fastest growing (in attendance) trade shows over the last three years by the Trade Show News Network (TSNN).

TSNN made the nnoucement last week when it announced the 2012 Top 50 Fastest-growing Trade Shows in Attendance and Net Square Footage Growth in the U.S.

“During some of the most challenging years in the trade show industry, the 2012 TSNN Top 50 Fastest-growing Trade Show winners not only managed to thrive, but also by very impressive numbers,” said TSNN President and editor-in-chief Rachel Wimberly.

The winners in overall attendance growth from 2009 to 2011 were a diverse mix, including JCK Las Vegas, the Shooting, Hunting & Outdoor Trade Show and International CES.

“We are excited for our event to be recognized in this way. There’s a reason more people are attending OFA Short Course and we think it’s because the event is relevant to the industry today and offers a great experience for a fair price,” said Michael Geary, CAE, OFA’s chief executive officer. “Under one roof, independent garden centers, greenhouse growers, nurseries, florists, interior and exterior landscapers, suppliers, and other industry businesses can access everything they need for their businesses.”

The 2012 OFA Short Course take place June 14 to 17, atthe Greater Columbus COnvnetion Center in Columbus, Ohio.

OFA will be recognized for this achievement at TSNN’s award program on November 3, 2012.
