About The ING Fall Forum
The ING Fall Forum features two workshops with experts leading discussions about media-focused issues. The first is entitled: "Completing The Media/Vendor/Pro Shop Puzzle," and centers on relationships that benefit grassroots media, retail shops and their vendors. The second is called "New Methods For An Old Objective – Gaining Publicity," and focuses on relationships between members of the media and the business community.
These sessions are being conducted by ING as part of the PGA Fall Expo’s educational program, and are open to all show attendees.
New this year will be the ING Pavilion inside the show hall of the PGA Fall Expo. ING members can display magazines and marketing material in this space for a small fee throughout the two days of the show.
