We attended the largest event for greenkeepers: GCSAA Conference and Trade Show.
The conference and trade show presents timely content and interactive experiences designed to help golf course superintendents (GCS) improve their operations, increase revenue, and grow their business.
GCSAA is the world’s largest golf course management association. Each year, the GCSAA conference and trade show is held in different cities across the United States.
The annual conference of the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America (GCSAA) is an opportunity for golf course superintendents, land operators, and other industry professionals to network and learn about the latest advances in golf course management.
The educational portion of the conference will cover topics such as turf science, environmental management, and golf course management.
The educational sessions are open to anyone interested in learning more about the industry. For example, there will be a session on environmental issues affecting golf courses, such as sustainability and water conservation strategies. Other sessions will focus on topics such as:
Turf science and the latest research on issues like turf winterization or soil compaction management;
Green maintenance practices, including mowing techniques, irrigation practices, and fertilization methods;
Golf course construction techniques, from new builds to renovations/rehabilitations (including bunkers);
There’s something for everyone.
The Golf Course Superintendents Association of America (GCSAA) will hold its annual conference and trade show in San Diego, California, from December 3-5. The educational portion of the conference will address topics such as turf science, environmental management, and golf course management. Attendees will also have the opportunity to interact with industry professionals and connect with stakeholders during the trade show portion.

The celebration also included a gala dinner where AMR Collection's Vice President of Operations, Daniel Hernández, during his speech highlighted the social work that the company has carried out in its 20 years and which has had a positive impact on the communities near the hotels managed by the chain.
Hernández thanked the investors and owners for trusting in the company, as well as all the AMR Collection collaborators for their dedication and effort. He also expressed his gratitude to Unlimited Vacation Club (UVC) for all their collaboration in making the celebration possible.
During his speech, on the occasion of the chain's anniversary, the executive said that after the economic recovery curve and the post-pandemic tourism sector, they are "enormously grateful" to their great business partners, local operators and travel agencies for their achievements.
"Not only were and continue to be cornerstones in recovering the brand's performance dynamics in the market and that of each of the 11 resorts with their well-identified key selling points - even in the worst of times, you were there. Thank you," Nunez emphasized.
Here is a summary of some of our favorite additions to the conference and trade show experience:
