Carolinas online conference adds early registration prizes
Conference Comes to You, the Carolinas GCSA’s online education conference, will now give away an additional $10,000 in cash to early registrants.
A total of 40 prizes, ranging from $100 to $1,000 will be given away over two drawings, on Oct. 16 and Oct. 30. This is in addition to $30,000 in cash prizes to be drawn on Dec. 21 after the conference ends.
Attendees will earn one entry in the Early Bird registration giveaway for every seminar they take. For example, someone who registers for three classes before Oct. 16 will have three entries in that drawing and three in the Oct. 30 drawing. They will also be eligible for three entries in the end-of-show drawing.
“Obviously, this is a great incentive for golf course superintendents and other industry members to sign up immediately,” said Carolinas GCSA Executive Director Tim Kreger. “They already have access to first-class education at a fair price, but if they register now, they can also get three bites at a cherry that has grown to $40,000.”
Even so, Kreger said the most significant element of it all is in the sheer volume of support from industry partners and sponsors. To date, nearly three dozen companies have pledged financial backing for Conference Comes to You, which offers 30 distinct seminars over 30 days starting Nov. 2. The online conference takes the place of the traditional Carolinas GCSA Conference and Trade Show, canceled this year because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Growing corporate support is mirrored by growing support from superintendent chapters across the U.S. and overseas. Forty individual chapters have signed on as official partners of Conference Comes to You, earning their members discounted registration fees. For their participation, those chapters will receive a portion of every seminar fee paid for by one of their members. Recently Canada joined the international contingent when the Ontario GSA signed on.
