PBI-Gordon brings industry support, education and more to the 2026 GCSAA Conference & Trade Show

“The GCSAA Conference and Trade Show is one of the most important opportunities we have each year to connect with superintendents and demonstrate our long-standing commitment to the industry,” said Kevin Laycock, vice president, sales and order to ship for PBI-Gordon Corporation. “Through our support of the GCSAA Foundation and our focus on practical, science-backed solutions, our goal is to provide tools and insights that attendees can put to work this season and into the future.”
PBI-Gordon has donated to the GCSAA Foundation to commemorate the association’s 100th anniversary in 2026. The donation helps support a new endowment honoring GCSAA founder, Col. John Morely, to fund new and innovative initiatives for the next 100 years.
PBI-Gordon’s Field Development and Commercial Representative team will also take the trade show stage to share insights on managing some of the most common and challenging turf issues. Two brief, focused presentations will cover disease and weed control strategies that superintendents can implement right away.
