Registration optionsFull Conference PackagesThis registration option includes:
Complimentary Full Conference PackagesComplimentary registration is offered to GCSAA retired members, inactive members, student members and educator members.

After registration is complete, media personnel will have access to the conference and show. Course Management/Staff RegistrationGCSAA members may register their course management and/or staff (as long as they are not members of GCSAA, NGCOA or CMAA) for a full-conference package at their member rate. To register your course management and/or staff, complete a separate form for the person you are registering, select the appropriate registration option, indicate your name and member number in the space provided (below the registration option), and submit the registration forms for everyone at the same time. (To use this option, the forms must be mailed or faxed to GCSAA — online registration is not available for this option.) Golf Course Owner/Employer RegistrationGolf course owners and employers who are not GCSAA members have the unique opportunity to register for a special conference package for only $175 if their GCSAA member superientdent is registering for a full-conference package. This package allows to all the events included in the GCSAA full-conference package. To register for this option, complete Form A-1, mark the Golf Course Owner/Employer category, indicate your superintendent’s name and GCSAA member number in the space provided, and submit with the superintendent’s registration forms.
