A Focus on Professional Development During PGA Show Week

The Conference begins with a full day of educational programming on Jan. 24, featuring four hands-on instructional workshops during the PGA Show Demo & Fitting Day at Orange County National Golf Center and nine classroom sessions focused on Executive Management and Golf Operations at the Orange County Convention Center.  The Conference continues Jan. 25-27 at the Convention Center with additional PGA education sessions and collaborative education from the PGA of America and the National Golf Course Owners Association in the Executive Management track and from the PGA of America and the Association of Golf Merchandisers in the Golf Operations track.  Additionally, special exhibitor education sessions will be presented by Tagmarshal and Technogym.
