We are very pleased to announce a new and exclusive benefit of OATA membership for 2026. We are launching a programme of webinar talks to be delivered live online, with ‘catch up’ ability afterwards. Members can expect an interesting range of topics, from the launch of our new sustainable sourcing tool to a roundtable offering retail tips for greater success.
The programme is one of a number of new benefits coming in 2026 for businesses which join OATA as a member, and will join others already in place, from discounts of our City and Guilds-accredited training and access to our annual Trade Statistics report.
Businesses which sign up become part of a community working to champion a responsible ornamental aquatics industry. If your business is not already a member then check out how to join here.
