LAKE MARY, FL (April 3, 2012) – Approximately seven dozen members of the media from across the United States are expected to attend the 22nd Annual ING Spring Conference May 20-24 at the Embassy Suites Golf Resort & Conference Center in Greenville, SC.
Anyone in the golf industry or media is invited to attend the conference, conducted by the non-profit International Network of Golf, where media and the golf industry connect. 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 that is expected to attract over 160 people.
Media members from publications, shows and websites large and small will be on hand to learn about new products, services and destinations, and to create or nurture relationships with the business community.
They will be able to gather story material or work on relationships during such events as the One-On-One Appointment Show, the Demo Lab on the range, and the various golf events and educational functions.
Included among media outlets that have committed to the conference so far are six golf radio shows that will be doing interviews and, in some cases, live shows from the host site.
