The Golf Inc. Conference, which recently wrapped up its three-day fall event at the La Quinta Resort, once again earned high marks from attendees.
A survey of those taking part in the conference showed that more than 96 percent of those attending said they would recommend future conferences to their peers and colleagues.
“We are thrilled with the response and the continued commitment from our core attendees – golf course owners, developers and management company executives,” said Jack Crittenden, president of Golf Inc. “Our attendance numbers were down, as expected because of the economy. But, quality stayed very high and the attendee survey shows attendees were very pleased overall.”
More than 350 people registered for the Sept. 14-16 event. Of those attending, 92 percent rated the conference as “good” or better.
The Spring 2010 Golf Inc. Conference will be held April 12-14 at Amelia Island Plantation in Amelia Island, Fla. This will be the second Golf Inc. Conference at the resort, with the 2007 event receiving rave reviews from attendees and exhibitors.
The exhibit hall will again be limited to 40 booths, with special networking events taking place in the hall on Monday and Tuesday evenings and a luncheon on Wednesday.
“We continue to provide exhibitors with a unique opportunity to connect with industry’s leaders in an intimate and high quality environment,” Crittenden said.
