LAKE MARY, FL – Logo’d golf shirts by adidas, golf hats by Pukka Headwear and golf towels by Spotless Swing will be among the Welcome Bag gifts for attendees of the 20th Anniversary ING Spring Conference May 9-13 at historic Pinehurst Resort in the Sandhills of North Carolina.
Anyone in the golf industry or media is invited to attend the conference, conducted by the non-profit International Network of Golf. Industry executives from companies large and small, and from every segment of the industry, will join golf media of all types at this annual gathering.
Registration deadline for regular pricing is next Tuesday, March 30.
Golf in Wales will co-sponsor the Tuesday Night Banquet at Pinehurst. Wales will host the 2010 Ryder Cup at beautiful Celtic Manor. The Twenty Ten Course was built with the Ryder Cup competition in mind, and joins two other courses, Roman Road and The Montgomerie, to provide a fantastic golf experience at Celtic Manor.
The Pukka motto: Be Original,™ is reflected in the large line of diverse golf headwear. Prior to creating the Pukka brand in 2003, company owners operated Factory Direct International supplying fashion accessories to many of the world’s top brands. Pukka’s hands-on experience in fashion and retail markets fueled the development of a proprietary system for manufacturing in small quantities from scratch, ultimately providing never-before-seen turn-times, expert sourcing, precision logistics and volume pricing.
The philosophy of adidas is to design equipment to maximize the body’s golf potential. The company has always been known as maybe the most innovative in the business when it comes to technology in performance apparel. The company also markets the popular Ashworth line.
The Spotless Swing is three golf towels in one. The inside protects and preserves golf clubs by removing dirt, mud and water. The outside keeps hands, face, gloves and grips clean and dry. And the new MicroBrush™ fabric cleans club grooves effortlessly preparing the club for its next shot.
The ING Spring Conference features four days of product presentation, networking, education, golf and business-building opportunities. The One-On One Appointment Show and the Demo Lab are among the popular elements of this gathering of media and business leaders.
Now, more than ever, “you gotta be there.” Surrounded by a cloudy economic climate, the golf industry has never seen a better time to gather and communicate first-hand about challenges and solutions. And for 20 years, that has been the focus of all ING gatherings.
The ING Spring Conference reaches a major milestone this year with its 20th anniversary event. Former Golf Channel commentator Adam Barr will guide the conference attendees through the various elements as the master of ceremonies.
The ING Conference schedule is jammed with educational, networking and product display opportunities. The highlights:
1) The ever-popular One-On-One Appointment Show, a series of private meetings between exhibitors and media to open lines of communication, create unique promotional programs, gather story materials and build relationships.
2) The State Of The Industry Breakfast. Workers from different segments of the golf industry will lead discussions on the current state of the golf business, with the hope of creating solutions to lead individuals and companies back into a positive direction.
3) The Demo Lab will feature companies large and small displaying their latest equipment and training gear on the practice range and green.
4) Education and self-improvement programs galore, including a session touching on the utilization of Social Media and marketing programs.
5) Motivational session with one of the best in the world, Chip Eichelberger, formerly of the Tony Robbins company.
6) Lots of golf events, including the International Pairs World Qualifier, a two-player team event from which the winners will advance to compete in the world championship in Scotland in October. Course No. 4 will host that major competition.
