New Conference Date Announced!

18 January 2023

We are pleased to announce that the International Garden Tourism Conference is confirmed from 1-4 November 2023 in Victoria, BC. Originally scheduled for October 2022, we decided to postpone the conference due to COVID travel restrictions that were still in place at the time of finalising the programme. We are grateful for the renewed support of Destination Greater Victoria and the Canadian Garden Council, and please stay tuned as we will be updating the programme in the coming months. If you are interested to join or would like to be involved, do not hesitate to contact us!

Speakers

We are delighted to announce the first line-up of speakers who will join our conference this fall. This list will be updated on a regular basis as we move closer to August when we finalise the detailed programme and topics. We expect to announce a total of 20 speakers from the Gardens and Tourism industry.
