The "Bloom Together Event" is an annual gathering in the City of Doral, showcasing the strength of collaboration in the floral industry. Against the vibrant backdrop of Miami's tropical ambiance, this event highlights how working together can create connections, collaborations, and a sense of community among professionals in the floral business. Conveniently located near The Doral Yard, it aligns with the opening day of WF&FSA’s FDC on March 4th, providing a great opportunity for informal networking, reconnecting with old friends, and showcasing the global significance of Miami and Doral in the floral market.
This event is super special because it shows how everyone in the flower industry can help each other out. It's like catching up with old friends, making new friends, and working together to make the flower world better.
About The Bloom Together Event, and the Goal
Last year, the event drew in more than 300 attendees, showcasing its significance and popularity. The 2024 Bloom Together Event, presented by Above All Flowers & New Bloom Solutions, is backed by a strong network of over 40 collaborators, emphasizing its non-profit nature. This collaboration guarantees sufficient funding for the event, with any extra funds going towards supporting Seed Your Future and the American Floral Endowment. These organizations are vital in promoting education, research, and careers in agriculture and floral industries, emphasizing the event's dedication to fostering industry growth and support.
Arnold Wittkamp, Chief Futurist at Thursd and a very good friend of Sahid:
"Like Thursd, Sahid thinks about the big picture. He is a great connecter, and very important to us."
The primary goal of the initiative is to solidify connections, foster collaboration, and nurture a sense of community within the floral industry, ultimately reinforcing its networks. Attendees can anticipate an evening brimming with live music, featuring dueling pianos, complimentary drinks, networking games, and prizes, all strategically designed to promote engagement and community in a relaxed atmosphere.
