Our 2024 Annual Conference will take place on Saturday, October 26, at The Forum in Fishers, Indiana. Stay tuned for details coming soon.
What to Expect
Every fall, Indiana Native Plant Society members gather for a full day’s immersion in native plants. The public is invited too.
At our usual in-person events, conferees come early to pick up their materials, munch on a complimentary continental breakfast, and check out who’s attending. After the president’s greeting and a brief business meeting (e.g., election of officers), the immersion begins.
We usually have a keynote speaker or two, plus additional lectures and breakouts, depending on what the conference team decides. During breaks, there’s time to visit displays by native plant friendly organizations and conference sponsors. The INPS bookstore and the seed swap are ever-popular diversions, and there’s plenty of good food and camaraderie to be enjoyed by all.
Often the regional chapter hosting the conference will plan Friday activities such as hikes, workshops, and get-togethers. These are great ways to make new friends and enjoy the local scenery.
