But for many of those who return year after year, its value extends beyond the three days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sarah Tiglio, SiteOne\u2019s area manager for Southern California and Hawaii, first attended WIGI 11 years ago. She has since built lasting relationships through the conference. \u201cOne of the things I value most about WIGI is the network of professionals I&#8217;ve built over the years. There are people I&#8217;ve attended this event with for more than a decade,\u201d she says. \u201cThe opportunity to learn from one another and mentor the next generation is incredibly important.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tiglio has been working her way up through the ranks for nearly three decades, starting on the counter at a company that was later acquired by SiteOne. Her connection to the industry began even earlier. Born in Hawaii, her grandfather founded a landscaping company, and she later worked for the family business while at high school in California.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe people, products and processes that come together to create something meaningful keep me engaged. I\u2019m passionate about transforming&nbsp; spaces and bringing landscapes to life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is an industry she acknowledges is still male-populated, but Tiglio says she has never viewed that as a barrier to her own progression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019ve always believed that confidence and capability are built through experience, hard work and a willingness to keep learning. After nearly 30 years, I\u2019ve learned to focus on what I can control: continuing to grow, taking on new challenges and being open to opportunities. The most important thing is to invest in yourself and strive to be the best version of yourself. We all can grow, lead and make an impact when we&#8217;re willing to challenge ourselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cChallenges will always be part of any career, but I\u2019ve viewed them as opportunities. I\u2019ve learned that growth comes from stepping outside your comfort zone, embracing new experiences, and staying focused on solutions rather than obstacles.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"775\" height=\"517\" src=\"https:\/\/www.prolandscapermagazine.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/11\/WIGI_2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-124945 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.prolandscapermagazine.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/11\/WIGI_2.jpg 775w, https:\/\/www.prolandscapermagazine.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/11\/WIGI_2-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 775px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That focus on personal responsibility was reflected in this year\u2019s conference program. Valorie Burton, founder of The Coaching and Positive Psychology Institute (CaPP), opened the event with a keynote focused on learning not only from what goes wrong, but from what goes right. Rather than simply analyzing failure, she encouraged attendees to consider what they could learn from their successes, asking: \u201cWhat do I need to analyze rather than penalize?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The theme continued through the program. All It Takes founder Lori Woodley-Langendorff encouraged attendees to have difficult conversations with themselves and shift from \u2018they should\u2019 to \u2018I should\u2019, while SiteOne\u2019s manager of talent and organizational development, Jessica Burford, spoke about creating a \u201cculture of feedback\u201d, where \u201ctrust creates permission for real dialogue.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Tiglio, though, the most valuable part of WIGI has always been what happens between the sessions\u2014and what continues once everyone has gone home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI love helping people find the best version of themselves, personally and professionally. I\u2019m passionate about my own career development and if I can help someone else too then that\u2019s what I enjoy the most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTwenty years ago, I never imagined I\u2019d be where I am today. I\u2019ve always had a creative mindset, and now I find that creativity in developing strategy and helping people reach their potential.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That has led her to become a mentor to others entering the industry. Every year, she sponsors someone to attend WIGI, and this year one of the new attendees was a member of her own team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cShe\u2019s excited about the opportunity to network and invest in both her personal and professional development,\u201d says Tiglio. \u201cExperiences like WIGI encourage you to reflect on where you are in your career and challenge yourself to keep learning. The connections you build and the conversations you have provide valuable perspective and support. It&#8217;s inspiring.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She also points to a more personal example of the connections that can come from the industry. The daughter of someone Tiglio worked with as a salesperson 20 years ago has now graduated from college and joined her father\u2019s business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile\"><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTo help someone see the bigger picture and the path forward, to help her find her voice and be a stronger person\u2014that&#8217;s what I\u2019m passionate about, and that\u2019s what WIGI can help with.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That sense of continuity is becoming increasingly important as the conference grows. SiteOne is now looking to build connections between attendees throughout the year, including through a Facebook group, rather than leaving the WIGI network behind when the conference ends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"775\" height=\"436\" src=\"https:\/\/www.prolandscapermagazine.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/11\/WIGI.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-124946 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.prolandscapermagazine.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/11\/WIGI.jpg 775w, https:\/\/www.prolandscapermagazine.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/11\/WIGI-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 775px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWith 162 new attendees, it&#8217;s already starting. That\u2019s the truth of what\u2019s being built here,\u201d says Tiglio. \u201cWe have a very strong network of women that come each year, and to have so much growth this year, it feels like there\u2019s an evolution happening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere\u2019s a new generation of females coming in, and they\u2019re coming in stronger and more confident than ever, more than I was at their age. It\u2019s important for them to find people who support and encourage them, and to seek out mentors and connect with others in the industry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a conference now in its 28th year, perhaps that is the clearest indication of its staying power\u2014not simply that women keep coming back, but that they are returning with others, and increasingly helping to bring the next generation with them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WIGI is building something that doesn&#8217;t end when the conference does, says SiteOne\u2019s Sarah Tiglio More than 160 women attended SiteOne\u2019s Women in the Green Industry (WIGI) conference for the first time this year\u2014a sign, perhaps, that what began as an annual event is becoming something bigger.
