Spring Warm Up Online Success |
Thank you to everyone that joined us on Tuesday, March 30th for our Spring Warm Up Online. While we would much prefer to have been in person, the online event provided valuable updates on Association activities, great tips from our guest speaker on training front-line staff in a COVID world and the panel session provided good insight into what several operators are planning for the 2021 season amidst the changing public health orders. Our Golfmax trade show featured the largest number of suppliers in attendance at an Ontario Spring Warm Up and offered an opportunity for those in attendance to connect with suppliers early in the season. For a recording of the event, as well as, a copy of the meeting materials, please click here.

Ontario GOLFEXPO ONLINE
a Success
|
Over 80,000 visitors attended the Ontario GOLFEXPO ONLINE last month, making it the largest attended consumer golf show in Canadian history. A big thank you to the 130+ NGCOA Canada member facilities that exhibited. Exhibitor feedback was overwhelmingly positive particularly in the areas of ease of set-up and cost. Customer feedback was also extremely positive with no cost to attend and the ease with which they could drop in at a convenient time in their schedule throughout the entire week. This was the first time many golfers had attended a consumer golf show, and they indicated that they were excited by the prospect of finding new golf courses from outside their area that they could purchase packages from and travel to in 2021.
