PBI-Gordon reveals GCSAA Conference & Trade Show plans

PBI-Gordon Corporation is heading to the 2026 GCSAA Conference & Show in Orlando, Florida.

Attendees can stop by booth #2448 to learn more about the company’s relationship with the GCSAA, talk disease and weed management with product experts, explore products, and even take part in a “putt for prizes” contest for a chance to win a premium putter.

“The GCSAA Conference & 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.”

Industry support

A Col. John Morely Centennial Campaign Legacy Leader, PBI-Gordon has donated to the GCSAA Foundation to commemorate the association’s 100^th 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 Corporation is a decades-long supporter of the GCSAA,” said Jason Manz, vice president, strategic marketing and new business development for PBI-Gordon Corporation. “It’s always an honor to stand by the association and the vital work it does in the industry to educate and develop superintendents, advance the profession, advocate for issues we all believe in, and ultimately grow the game of golf.”

Technical education sessions

PBI-Gordon’s Field Development & Commercial Representative Team will also take the 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.
