2/5/2025: The floral industry is breathing a little easier after President Donald Trump’s proposed 25% tariffs on Canadian and Mexican imports, set to go into effect just 10 days before Valentine’s Day, were postponed a month.

As U.S. trade agreements come under new scrutiny, some business owners have taken proactive steps to bolster reserves, identify alternative sources for imported products, and prepare for potential shifts.

This session also provides a unique opportunity to connect with peers and exchange ideas during breakout sessions.
