It’s never too early to start planning for your memorable experience! Use this dedicated web site to get a head start.

Make the Most of Your Time in New Orleans

First, determine what you want to gain from the event. What projects and objectives is your facility undertaking? What would you like to learn? Are you attending primarily to network and meet new people? Are you considering a job change? Some or all of these reasons may apply to you. Determine what your goals are and then use these planning tips to assist in achieving them and make the most of your time at the GCSAA Education Conference and Golf Industry Show in New Orleans.

Budgeting for the Big Easy

You CAN be part of the excitement! Budget constraints affect everyone, but don’t let that cause you to miss the unparalleled networking, learning and career opportunities during the 2009 GCSAA Education Conference and the Golf Industry Show.

By arriving in New Orleans Wednesday and departing Saturday afternoon, you can consume the majority of the events, spend less than $1,500 and be away from your course/family for only four days. Here’s how.
