The 2017 Spring Members Meeting is coming up soon! Join us in sunny South Florida May 17-21. The Meeting will be held in conjunction with the renowned Redland International Orchid Festival. Plus, you will have a great opportunity to visit the home of the AOS at the Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden located in nearby Coral Gables.
In addition to traditional events like AOS Judging, the Town Hall meeting and our semi-annual auction, we will feature for your enjoyment on Thursday evening a fabulous preview event with unprecedented vendor access and pre-sales, as well as a catered dinner at the Redland International Orchid Festival. You will also be treated to a one-of-a-kind, orchid-themed art exhibit -"Orchids through the Artists' Eyes" at the beautiful Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden, where you will be able to visit the newly completed and unique AOS library and peruse the wonderful collection of books and manuscripts from the 1800's to the present.
A new speaker format will be introduced at this Members Meeting to match the ambiance of the outdoor Redland International Orchid Festival. Within our exclusive, air-conditioned tent, registrants will have the opportunity to meet and interact, roundtable-style with our speakers. An amazing tropical gala is also planned for Friday evening, complete with gourmet dinner, open bar, music and entertainment in a gorgeous setting.
