TLR 2026 | The People You’ll Meet in Arlington
Six weeks from now, 150 landscape industry leaders will gather in Arlington, Texas for three days that consistently rank as the most valuable event of their year.
Here’s who’s already committed.
CEOs running $15M to $100M+ operations. Owners navigating succession planning, acquisition integration, and multi-generational leadership transitions. Senior leaders building the operational infrastructure that allows their companies to scale without breaking.
These aren’t people looking for their first big contract or trying to figure out how to manage a crew. They’re established operators facing the challenges that only show up at scale: how to build genuine leadership depth, how to integrate technology across complex service lines, how to position for the next stage of growth while maintaining the culture that got them here.
The median company size at TLR is around $23M. Combined, attendees represent over $2.7 billion in revenue. 95% are C-suite or ownership level. These are the decision-makers, not delegates sent to take notes.
What makes this group different is what they’re willing to share.
At most industry events, conversations stay surface level. Success stories, polished case studies, the version of reality that looks good on LinkedIn. At TLR, the best conversations happen when someone admits what’s not working. When a CEO talks honestly about the acquisition that’s proving harder to integrate than expected. When an owner shares the real numbers behind a leadership transition. When someone asks the question everyone else was thinking but didn’t want to say out loud.
This year’s group includes operators you already know and respect. Some have been coming to TLR since the beginning. Others are joining for the first time. Several are bringing members of their leadership team because they’ve found that the conversations are too valuable to experience alone.
You’ll meet people at breakfast and continue the conversation over dinner. You’ll exchange real challenges during breaks and text each other six months later when you’re making a similar decision. You’ll leave with phone numbers you’ll actually use.
One longtime attendee described the TLR network this way: “These aren’t people I met at a conference. These are people I call when I need to think something through.”
That’s what happens when you put the right people in the same room for three days with enough space to have real conversations.
The room is filling. Hotel room block closes June 30. Regular registration ends June 30.
If you’ve been thinking about TLR, this is the year to commit.
