WFFSA FDC 26

Once again floral Professionals from around the country and the world descended on Miami for the next edition of the Floral Distribution conference.

This was a very interesting one to say the least and I will do my best to describe why I found it this way.

Having attended many wffsa events over my many years in the business I am compelled to talk a bit about the history. Wffsa was around long before me and their show was biggest event in the industry. It was dominated by and controlled by wholesalers and they did their best to keep the event that way.
