Interactive education, industry innovations to be showcased at golf course management’s biggest event.
Lawrence, Kan. (Sept. 19, 2023) – The GCSAA Conference and Trade Show will take place in Phoenix for the first time in more than 30 years Jan. 29-Feb. 1, 2024, with an interactive experience you won’t find anywhere else. The conference will be preceded by the annual GCSAA Golf Championships presented by Toro Jan 27-29, 2024.
The Golf Course Superintendents Association of America (GCSAA) and presenting partners, the Golf Course Builders Association of America (GCBAA), American Society of Golf Course Architects (ASGCA) and United States Golf Association (USGA), will offer a week of interactive education, hands-on experiences, golf events and assembly of the golf course management industry.
The 2024 GCSAA Conference and Trade Show will be held at the Phoenix Convention Center, and the GCSAA Golf Championships will be played at Talking Stick Golf Club, Camelback Golf Club and Whirlwind Golf Club. After four golf events where GCSAA, GCBAA and ASGCA members have an opportunity to have fun, meet others and compete, the GCSAA Conference and Trade Show will offer unparalleled professional development and networking opportunities for those who manage, own and build golf facilities as well as those companies that cater to golf facilities.
“We have great momentum coming off of the 2023 show, and we’re hearing from attendees and exhibitors that they are very excited to come to Phoenix for the first time since 1987,” said Rhett Evans, GCSAA CEO. “The 2024 GCSAA Conference and Trade Show will offer something for everyone in the industry with a full lineup of education, interactive experiences, golf events and opportunities to source products and services.”
In addition to dedicated education and show time, each day of the GCSAA Conference will feature a special theme and corresponding events.
