The Perennial Plant Association National Symposium Announces 2026 New to Market Forum 

Perennial Plant Association’s very popular New to Market Forum is an annual highlight and will return once again! The Forum will be held during the 2026 PPA National Symposium taking place July 27 – 30 at the Kellogg Center on Michigan State University’s campus in East Lansing, Michigan.

New this year, our presenters will have two unique opportunities to showcase their new plants as PPA will be hosting the New to Market Forum in-person during the National Symposium on Tuesday, July 28 and on Tuesday, August 25 to an online audience at PPA’s New to Market Review webinar. 

This Forum is an invaluable opportunity for breeders and plant dealers from around the world to present their best and brightest in the industry to an audience of influential perennial professionals and enthusiasts.

Attendees are always eager to see the line-up of latest plant material and innovative goods featured during this session!
