Join Us! Make Michigan your destination and meet with Christmas tree growers from around the Midwest and Great Lakes region as the Michigan, MACT, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio Christmas Tree Association combine for this summer event! Christmas tree growers will be enticed to attend this show with a great line up of tours, demonstrations and, of course, a huge trade show. This will be a tremendous opportunity to interact with your customers and potential new clients. By serving morning coffee, refreshments and the Friday reception in the exhibit area, we do our best to get the buyers to you. Exhibiting at the "Meet in Michigan" event is a great value for suppliers because this event will bring together so many Christmas tree growers. Vendors are encouraged to offer show specials that will help drive attendees to the show. We will gladly list your show specials on the MCTA website in coordination with show registration materials. Once you have registered as an exhibitor, you will receive a confirmation letter and a form to announce your show specials.
