MANTS opens 2027 call for new products and industry innovations

The Mid-Atlantic Nursery Trade Show (MANTS) is calling on exhibitors to share the products, plants, technologies and services they are bringing to market for 2027 as part of the show’s annual New Product program.

Registered exhibitors can submit new offerings through Dec. 11, 2026. All submissions will be compiled and shared with registered media in advance of MANTS 2027 and made available to journalists in the MANTS Media Room during the show, giving reporters an early look at new introductions from across the horticulture industry.

“Every year, our exhibitors arrive at MANTS with new ideas, new plant introductions and new solutions for the businesses we serve,” said Vanessa Finney, executive vice president of MANTS. “The New Product program gives us an opportunity to put those introductions directly in front of the media covering our industry and help journalists see what’s emerging across the show floor.” 

In addition to the full New Product roundup, MANTS organizers will select a limited number of submissions representing different product categories for an in-person media presentation on Jan. 14. Selected exhibitors will have an opportunity to introduce their product directly to members of the media attending the show.

Exhibitors chosen for the presentation will be notified by Dec. 18.

Products do not need to be selected for the media presentation to receive exposure through the program. Every eligible submission will be included in the information distributed to registered show media in advance and available in the Media Room on-site.

Registered MANTS exhibitors can submit their new products here. The deadline for entries is Dec. 11, 2026.
