The National Association of Landscape Professionals’ ELEVATE show proved once again why it’s the premiere event for landscaping professionals. Held November 2-5 in Phoenix, Arizona, ELEVATE drew another impressive turnout, bringing together industry leaders and teams from across the country for a dynamic week of education, innovation, and connection.
ELEVATE delivered more than 30 education sessions covering everything from leadership and sales to finance and HR—making it the perfect place for entire crews to sharpen their skills. Hot topics included AI and technology integration, workforce culture, and strategies for employment and retention. The women’s panel was also a standout, highlighting the growing influence of women in reshaping the industry’s culture and business practices.
For professional landscapers, ELEVATE is more than just an event—it’s a chance to stay ahead of the curve, network with peers, and gain practical insights to drive business success. As Arnold Benitez, Professional Development Sales Supervisor for Hustler Turf shared, “ELEVATE is a great opportunity to speak with decision makers on their needs and expectations from a mower manufacturer. We have the chance to speak with folks from across the country who are looking for tools to help their teams be successful day in and day out.”
Mark your calendars for ELEVATE 2026 on November 8-11 in Tampa, Florida. Hope to see you there!
