The TOCA conference gathers marketing and communications professionals from all over the country to a new city each spring. This year, the group ventured to New England to discuss new industry trends and topics as they enjoyed lobster rolls among views of bays, rivers and botanical gardens. The annual meeting consists of educational sessions, tours, panel discussions, presentations, networking events and more. The awards luncheon is on the final day of the meeting to recognize the communication and marketing efforts put forth by TOCA members within the green industry.
