You can start planning now for the 2010 Golf Industry Show in San Diego. The interactive Web site www.golfindustryshow.com launched this week with information about the new two-day schedule for 2010, USGA joining the show partnership, and schedules for the event, Feb. 10-11, plus links to the concurrent education conferences of GCSAA, CMAA and NGCOA.
Throughout the months leading up to San Diego, additional information will be added, such as the full exhibitor listing, housing information, and complete hour-by-hour schedules.
The Golf Industry Show is an innovative trade show designed for the owners/operators of golf facilities and the professional members of the golf course and club management industries. The event combines education, networking and solutions for golf course superintendents, owners, operators, club managers, chief operating officers, architects and builders.
The Golf Industry Show is presented by the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America (GCSAA), National Golf Course Owners Association (NGCOA) and Club Managers Association of America (CMAA), along with participating partners Golf Course Builders Association of America (GCBAA), American Society of Golf Course Architects (ASGCA) and the National Golf Foundation (NGF).
The USGA will join the Golf Industry Show beginning in 2010 as a participating partner.
In addition to the inclusion of the USGA, the Golf Industry Show will follow an enhanced format in 2010. Based on feedback from attendees and exhibitors, the schedule will be modified so that all events (education conferences and trade show) are held on weekdays. Responding to member and exhibitor desires to preserve more of their weekends, the trade show portion of the event will be conducted Wednesday and Thursday (Feb. 10-11), with virtually no competing events. GCSAA, NGCOA and CMAA education will be held on Monday, Tuesday and Friday, with CMAA education continuing through Saturday.
