Landscape Ontario’s Congress Trade Show and Conference will return to the Toronto Congress Centre in Toronto, Ont., Jan. 12-14, 2027. As Canada’s largest and longest-running green industry trade show and conference, Congress brings together thousands of landscape and horticulture professionals for three days of education, networking, innovation and inspiration.
The 2026 event featured over 470 exhibitors spread over eight acres and 25 speakers at the three-day Congress Conference. Returning show features include a Women in Horticulture event, the very popular Hiring Party and pre-event Landscape Designers Conference.

Show organizers would like to remind both past and future attendees that the Congress attendee lists are never sold or rented. Be on alert for email, telephone and mail requests from companies offering to sell the attendee list or provide special deals on host hotels, travel and other discounts. This fraudulent activity is not specific to Congress and unfortunately many trade and consumer shows have become targets of this criminal activity.
