The GCSAA Conference and Tradeshow (CTS) – formerly known as the Golf Industry Show – has always been the highlight of the golf course management calendar. Providing world-class education and events to help you both personally and professionally, CTS has long been the can’t-miss experience of the year. This coming year – February 6-9 – will be no different as you will discover an interactive experience you won’t find anywhere else. With new education, tradeshow exhibits and networking opportunities, the 2023 CTS in Orlando, Fla., will undoubtedly be the turfgrass management event of the year.

I’m sure you’re asking, why are you talking about CTS? It’s August. I’m thinking about aerification in a couple of weeks.

Well, I’m bringing CTS up now because, new this year, we are offering early registration to lock in 2022 prices for 2023, and the date to lock in these lower prices ends in a couple of weeks on August 31.

Locking prices in August only requires a $100 deposit and also provides:

• Get last year's pricing for all registration types ($50 or more in savings)
• Easy payment plan – put down a $100 deposit now to secure your spot, pay the balance later
• Early access period to sign up for education seminars, interactive tours and other major events
• First access to hotel room block
• 20% off at the GCSAA Store in Orlando

I’ve always had an excellent time at CTS, regardless of the host city. From my days as a Class C member, to vendor and now as a GCSAA field representative, I have always made meaningful connections and walked away from the conference with something to better myself.

I mention this because I have no doubt you too will be a better version of yourself – both on and off the golf course – if you experience CTS. I hope you will take advantage of the early bird pricing and lock in the lowest rates now – it’s an easy way to save you and your facility some money.

This year’s event will be sure to provide valuable information and allow you to connect with superintendents and industry partners from across the globe. Whether you’re a longtime attendee or someone who hasn’t experienced CTS in a while – even though it’s only August – I look forward to seeing you in Orlando!
