LAKE MARY, FL – The International Network Of Golf (ING) has turned to an old friend for a new site for its 18th ING Spring Conference on May 27 through 31, 2008. This annual gathering of golf media and industry leaders will be hosted by "the old friend," Atlantic City Convention & Visitors Authority (ACCVA), at a new site, the Sheraton Atlantic City Convention Center Hotel. The ACCVA has hosted the ING Mid-Atlantic Regional Seminar for three years.
The Spring Conference is expected to attract 225 attendees. During the conference, The Marriott Seaview Resort will host one day of golf and the ING Demo Lab, where more than a dozen golf club manufacturers will display their products for testing. The conference itinerary also includes workshops, speakers, the One-On-One Appointment Show, Small Groups Topics Breakfast and the ING Fashion Show.
In welcoming the Spring Conference to Atlantic City, Mike Reynolds, senior director of sales for the ACCVA, said, "I know ING attendees will be amazed by the quality of golf in Atlantic City, and will be blown away by the diversity of the entertainment. We’re looking forward to showing off all of Atlantic City’s great attributes. This is the perfect location for the Spring Conference."
ING Executive Director Mike Jamison agrees. "Before attending the ING regional seminar, it had been three decades since I visited Atlantic City," said Jamison. "I could not believe the changes. The quality entertainment and dining are very impressive, and Atlantic City offers world-class golf to boot. Our members will not believe the new Atlantic City."
Organizers are also pleased with the accommodations for the conference. "The Sheraton Atlantic City Convention Center Hotel provides the quality meeting space we need, and is a short walking distance from Atlantic City’s famous Boardwalk and attractions," said Jamison.
The International Network Of Golf is a 17-year-old non-profit organization whose mission is to enhance and promote communication and education in golf. Any media member, and anyone involved in golf or related industries, is invited to join ING and take part in several ING conferences and events held each year.
