We try to pack the pages of GCM every year around this time with tidbits and pointers to make the most of your conference and show experience. In the February issue, the Inside Your Career column is all about how to implement what you learned at show once you get back from New Orleans to justify to your employer the cost of attending. A couple ways you can save your course money this year come straight from two vendors on the trade show floor, and haven't made it into the magazine yet.
Standard Golf is giving away $25,000 worth of its accessories and maintenance tools this year to GIS attendees as part of its promotion of the redesign and change of its 2009 product catalog. Simply stop by the Standard Golf booth, (booth No. 2238) and pick up a new catalog. In 25 of those catalogs are free product stickers worth $1,000 in free product redemption.
Another chance to win $1,000 worth of products and equipment for your course is at Phoenix Environmental Care's booth this year (booth No. 4855). Spend a few moments to take a turf disease identification quiz to win a $2,000 "scholarship," half of which is good for Phoenix products and the other half of which will be donated to the turf program at the school of the winner's choice!
A thousand bucks worth of products might offset the cost of your entire time in New Orleans. Good luck!
