Release…December 31, 2015

Catering to the professional golf and sportsturf management industry, the WCTA Board of Directors is pleased to announce the 54th Annual WCTA Conference and Trade Show will take place at the Penticton Trade and Convention Centre, Penticton, British Columbia, February 15-17, 2017.

Plans for the conference include an exhibitor trade show, pre-conference seminars and multiple education tracks spanning all sectors of turf management plus social networking events. 

President Trevor Smith stated, “Our regional conference has a great history and after looking at several options for timing and location, the Board felt returning to Penticton in 2017 would provide golf and sportsturf managers the best possible combination of professional development and networking our members have come to expect.”

Further event details will be worked on during the summer of 2016 and presented next September.
