“We have worked closely with The PGA of America and our exhibiting companies to provide a fall marketplace that delivers multiple points of value and we are thrilled with the renewed participation by leading golf companies,” said PGA Golf Exhibitions vice president and show manager Ed Several. “In addition to traditional trade show elements, PGA professionals, retailers and industry leaders can look forward to an enhanced demo night, new networking functions, an expanded indoor equipment test centre, a comprehensive education conference, plus new special events and contests. The PGA Fall Expo schedule points towards a busy, productive and effective two days of business for our industry.”
In addition to seeing more than 300 golf-related exhibitors within approximately 50,000 net square feet of space in the Las Vegas Convention Centre (LVCC), visitors also will be able to test equipment in the equipment test centre and preview the latest golf merchandise in the new product Centre. This year’s Expo features new opening hours: 28th September 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. & 29th September 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.
The popular Demo Night returns to the PGA Fall Expo on Sept. 28th from 6:00-9:00 p.m. at the Callaway Golf Centre in Las Vegas. The centre offers a two-tiered 113-bay lighted driving range; putting & chipping greens and a nine-hole lighted par-3 course.
An expansive education conference, 9:00 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. on 28 & 29th September in the LVCC, will offer six professional development tracks of more than 40 diverse seminars including advanced retailing, growing the game, marketing & promotions, merchandising, personnel & service and retailing basics. Education conference presenters will include leading golf organizations and nationally recognized golf publications.
The PGA Fall Expo is an industry event and not open to the public. PGA members, golf buyers and industry professionals can register, make travel arrangements and hotel reservations online at www.pgafallexpo.com
PGA Members can register easily with their member ID and golf buyers will need to show proof of industry status. Members of golf’s allied organizations and other industry professionals also may easily utilize online registration.
