DevX 2026 Sneak Peek

About DevX

WFFSA's Development Experience (DevX) is an annual spotlight on floral distribution in a particular region.

In 2026, join up to 100 peers and managers in the industry to tour Atlanta area floral wholesalers, distributors, and retailers. Learn the ins and outs of business operations while building skills to take back to your own team.

DevX kicks off with an exclusive road trip to tour several standout floral operations in Atlanta. Participants will get a behind-the-scenes look at the business operations at each road trip stop and see innovation in action.

A full day will also be dedicated to applying AI in your line of work. Whether you are a beginner or expert with Artificial Intelligence, you will be sure to learn new applications and collaborative tools from our AI Innovation workshop.

WFFSA's DevX provides a number of unique opportunities to experience education your way. Formerly called Management Institute, this is a premier hands-on professional development event for WFFSA members. Participants receive exceptional educational programming where they learn practical skills to help them tackle timely business problems. Participants are also immersed in exceptional networking opportunities with industry peers and leaders.
