eld February 26–27 in Virginia Beach, this event was a member favorite. Turnout was high, and attendees had many opportunities to expand their knowledge and network with other turfgrass professionals. Education opportunities focused on Environmental Stewardship and included sessions on Getting the Basics Right, Public Relations and Pesticides and Pollinators. Certified Turfgrass Professional Training was provided as well as pesticide recertification. Alongside our sponsors, we are proud to offer these educational and social opportunities to increase our knowledge and represent the industry well. Thank you to all of our vendors, speakers, sponsors and attendees who made this event a success!
