GCI’s Florida swing

How and where to find our team in person and digitally during the 2017 Golf Industry Show.


GCI has finalized big plans for the 2017 Golf Industry Show and we’re bringing along a few hashtags to help capture the spirit and camaraderie in Orlando, Fla.

GCI’s Orange County Convention Center base Feb. 8-9 will be booth #1301, where ideas for the 2017 Turfheads Takeover issue and selfies are strongly encouraged. #TurfheadsTakeover, an issue entirely devoted to reader-submitted content, received industry praise following its December 2016 launch. The second #TurfheadsTakeover is scheduled for December 2017 and information for submitting a contribution will be available at the booth.

#GCITweetUp17 is scheduled for 3 p.m. Feb. 8 at Aquatrols booth #2559. The sixth annual event will celebrate our Super Social Media Award winners along with the industry’s successes in communicating via social media. The festivities, which are open to everybody, begin at 2 p.m. with free drinks and live music. The event can be followed from anywhere by using #GCITweetUp17.
