- **Event Name**: 49th Annual IAS Tropical Plant Expo 
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 19 Sep, 2026 at 09:00 am – Sun, 20 Sep, 2026 at 04:00 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: Plant people, this is your moment! 

The 49th Annual Tropical Plant Expo, hosted by the International Aroid Society, is basically a two day plant filled fever dream in the best way. Think rare plants, cool people, and nonstop plant talks all weekend long.

Walk through rows of specialty vendors selling everything from hard to find aroids and other plants to planty art and must have supplies. There’s also a lineup of speakers, researchers, collectors, and industry pros sharing tips, science, and behind the scenes knowledge you won’t get from a quick Google search.

Want to level up your plant skills? Jump into hands-on workshops where you can actually learn by doing, not just watching.

And if you’re hunting for something special, the Stripey Shop is where it’s at. IAS members bring plants from their personal collections, so you never know what rare gems you’ll find, and it all supports the Society.

Plus, the Aroid Awards highlight some of the most insane plants at the show, so expect serious plant envy.

And the best part? All the money the International Aroid Society makes goes to aroid conservation and research. 

Whether you’re a beginner or deep in your plant era, this is the place to meet your people, grow your collection, and leave inspired.
