Rio Roses filled the Paris Las Vegas Hotel with thousands of flowers at the 2019 AIFD National Symposium, “Awaken”. We were proud to be one of the biggest sponsors of the symposium, which had to purpose to inspire floral designers to awaken their creativity and continue their professional growth.

This year, Rio was thrilled to work with top floral designer Jacob McCall, who created multiple arrangements featuring our Rio Roses, Rio Delphinium, Rio Ranunculus, and Rio Lilies, among many others. It was a truly stunning, traffic-stopping exhibit.

The week-long “Awaken” Symposium featured presentations by floral industry leaders, as well as workshops and seminars by some of the industry’s best floral designers. It was all in alignment with the mission of the AIFD Foundation: To provide financial support for educational purposes, scholarships, projects and programs that facilitate the advancement and dissemination of knowledge in the field of floral design and related fields.

Rio Roses is proud and honored to sponsor important symposiums like this, as they provide a bright future for all in the floral industry.
