As Covid cases climb thanks to a new variant of the virus, one golf course superintendents association has postponed its show until spring while another has pulled the plug entirely and will transition to a virtual conference.
Originally scheduled for January, the British and International Golf Greenkeepers Association's BTME show has been postponed until March 20-24. BTME 2022 will be March 22-24, with Continue to Learn taking place from March 20-23.
Attendees who have signed up for the show automatically will be registered for the new dates. Continue to Learn bookings will also be carried over and BIGGA will be in contact with everyone who has booked a place on the education program to discuss arrangements further.
While BIGGA hopes its show makes a comeback in the spring, the Canadian Golf Course Management Conference will pivot to a virtual event due to concerns around Covid.
The virtual event will be held Feb. 22-24, and will include a trade show where attendees will be able to browse the "booths" and chat with exhibitors in real time.
More details with an updated schedule and registration information will be available soon.
All hotel reservations made as part of the room block at The Sheraton Centre Toronto Hotel will be canceled without penalty by the hotel in the coming days and the hotel will send out email notifications. Refunds also are being processed for all exhibitors.
