Registration opens for 2027 Mid-Atlantic Nursery Trade Show (MANTS)

Registration is now open for the 2027 Mid-Atlantic Nursery Trade Show (MANTS), taking place January 13 to 15, 2027, at the Baltimore Convention Center.

Coming off a sold-out 2026 trade show floor, MANTS will once again bring together thousands of industry colleagues for three days of sourcing products, meeting customers and suppliers, strengthening business relationships and writing orders for the season ahead.

The 2026 show welcomed more than 10,800 horticulture professionals and more than 890 exhibiting companies. Eighty-four percent of attendees authorized or influenced their company’s purchasing decisions, and nearly 3,200 non-exhibiting buying companies participated.

“MANTS is where the industry starts the year by getting down to business,” said Vanessa Finney, executive vice president of MANTS. “Buyers come ready to make decisions, and exhibitors come prepared to meet with customers, introduce products and build relationships that carry into the season ahead. That face-to-face access is what continues to bring the industry back to Baltimore each January.”

MANTS provides a business-first show where attendees can connect directly with suppliers and see plant material, nursery stock, equipment, growing inputs, containers, tools and other products and innovations serving the horticulture industry.

Throughout the show, industry knowledge is exchanged peer-to-peer through product demonstrations, conversations with suppliers and customers, and direct interaction across the trade show floor.

Registration for MANTS 2027 begins at $20 per person for early-bird registration through midnight on Dec. 4, 2026. The rate will increase to $30 per person for advance and on-site registration, available from Dec. 5 through Jan. 15.

Attendee and exhibitor housing reservations are also now available through the official Visit Baltimore Housing Bureau at 10 downtown hotels. Each MANTS hotel is within walking distance of the Convention Center.
