The Mid-Atlantic Nursery Trade Show (MANTS) is inviting 2026 exhibitors to submit their newest products, varietals, technologies and services for inclusion in the show’s annual New Product List and New Product Media Showcase.
This complimentary opportunity allows exhibitors to elevate their visibility among green industry journalists and consumer garden writers attending MANTS, scheduled for Jan. 7-9, 2026, at the Baltimore Convention Center. All entries will be compiled into a comprehensive roundup shared in advance and on-site with members of the media.
A select group of products will also be chosen to be part of a New Products Media Event, taking place on Thursday, Jan. 8, at 10 a.m. in the MANTS Media Room. The event provides exhibitors with the chance to present directly to attending media and generate valuable coverage that extends beyond the show floor, according to the trade show.
“MANTS is where the industry comes to do business and discover what’s next, and our New Product Showcase ensures that exhibitors can amplify their newest offerings to a broader audience and gain the visibility they deserve,” said Vanessa Finney, executive vice president of MANTS. “We want to shine a spotlight on the creativity and innovation our exhibitors bring to the show each year.”
Exhibitors interested in participating should complete the online submission form by Dec. 5, 2025. All entries will be reviewed, and selected participants for the New Products Media Event will be notified in late December. Chosen exhibitors will be asked to provide a product sample and deliver a short presentation to the media during the showcase. Exhibitors not selected to present during the showcase can also bring their products to the MANTS Media Room to have on display throughout the show.
