LAKE MARY, FL – It is not too late to enter your product or publication into consideration for the ING Conference Best awards program, conducted at the 21st Annual ING Spring Conference May 22-26 at beautiful Innisbrook Resort near Tampa, FL.
The awards will recognize one golf publication and one golf product or service, and will be determined by vote of ING Conference attendees.
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.
The “ING Conference Best” awards will recognize one issue of a publication and one golf product or service among those on display at the ING Spring Conference.
The golf publication rules are:

c. Quality of articles, photography, graphics;
d. Creativity of its “departments” or regular features;
e. The attractiveness of the cover;
f. Overall enjoyment and satisfaction from reading or browsing the publication.
3. Any publication that has a representative registered for the ING Spring Conference and which has published continually for at least one full year prior to the conference is eligible.
4. Publishers should bring ONE issue to enter in the competition.
5. Attendees will have up to 4 days to study the entries before voting. Winner will be announced the final night of the conference.
The golf product/service rules are:
1. Any product or service, shown at the ING Conference.
2. Company must be in attendance at the ING Spring Conference at a minimum of Appointment Show level to be eligible.
3. Attendees will study the entries during the One-On-One Appointment Show and/or the Demo Lab. Winner will be announced the final night of the conference.
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 21 years, that has been the focus of all ING gatherings.
The ING Spring Conference has a schedule featuring something for everyone. Companies that sell golf equipment or training aids will have their products tested by attending media at the Demo Lab. And all companies have a chance to take a display table in the One-On-One Appointment Show, which provides attendees a platform for private meetings to encourage business relationships.
The new Golf Media Expo will be part of a revamped Sunday Night at the ING Spring Conference. Magazines, media websites and TV and radio shows that register for the conference will receive complimentary tabletop display space to show their materials, samples and more. Display space is limited.
The conference also includes a revised educational format, featuring ActionCOACH as the workshop facilitator. There will also be tremendous networking opportunities, product displays and tests, and lots of golf.
Nationally known TV personality Michelle Phillips is the keynote speaker, and veteran rock star Jimi Jamison will perform a concert on Tuesday night that is free to all attendees.
