It seems like now, more than ever there is lots of training and education opportunities for turfgrass professionals. The Canadian Golf Superintendents Association will be hosting their annual Canadian International Turfgrass Conference & Trade Show this coming February. The five day conference & trade show will take place February 26, 2010 – March 2, 2010 at the Sheraton Centre Toronto Hotel in downtown Toronto. The trade show & conference will feature a number of education programs and seminars as well as a number of banquets and social events.
With the trade show expected to attract over 1800 professionals in the industry a number of key industry partners will be speaking. The keynote speaker for the event is Peter Mansbridge, the chief corespondent of CBC Television News. Some other speakers to name a few include, Scott Bowman- Superintendent: Glen Abbey Golf Club, Dr John Kaminski- Assistant Professor: Penn State University & Dr. Eric Lyons- Assistant Professor: University of Guelph. These education & seminars vary in topics from Golf Course Analytics to Effective Use of Water on Golf Courses.
So the question I would like to ask turfgrass professionals, is whats your excuse not go? There is so much more education outside of the post secondary institution, and this is an example of an event. Our program is putting on a symposium ourselves on November 27,2009 as well, the Ontario Turfgrass Symposium is also happening this February at the University of Guelph. This shows that there are ample amounts of learning opportunities. So turfgrass professionals get out there, interact and learn some new techniques and practices.
