Find Yourself in New Orleans in February

The Big Easy is back and ready to host you and your colleagues at the annual GCSAA Education Conference and the Golf Industry Show. Find yourself at the largest gathering of golf course management professionals in the world. You’ll be surrounded by industry leaders, technical experts and colleagues who share your challenges and successes. Opportunities to pick up best practices, tips and techniques that you can immediately apply at your facility will appear around every corner throughout the entire event.

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.

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.
