Will Armitage spoke at the GCA conference in January on behalf of the GCA trust about funding two places on the IGCA Congress to Canada 25th – 31st August 2024.
For more information about the congress please visit igca24.ca
The places on offer are only for the Next Generation Study Tour for delegates aged 18 to 40. The Trust will cover the cost of the congress, travel costs and expenses are not covered.
If you would like to apply for a place, please email Laura@GCA.org.UK with a brief explanation of why you would like to attend the congress along with a supporting email from your employer.
Anyone at our 2024 conference would have heard from Louise and Ash, last year’s successful candidates, when they spoke about how useful and important they found the congress and what ideas they were able to bring back and implement. We can’t stress enough how useful these opportunities are to your business.
The places are open to all employees of GCA member garden centres (not the owners or their immediate family) and would be an ideal personal development opportunity for any member of your management (or potential management team). You will be expected to spend 5 minutes or so on stage at next year’s GCA conference to tell everyone how fantastic the congress was and what you and your centre were able to gain from the experience.
We do need to have made our selection by the deadline of March 25, so please apply today via the email above!
