Immerse yourself in excellent educational sessions and check out the latest and greatest products, equipment and services from TPI’s great suppliers during the Indoor Exhibit sessions and at the Field Day. Help support Te Lawn Institute with the optional Rootin’ Tootin’ Skeet Shootin’ event on Monday. Relax and network with your friends and colleagues for the delightful “After Hours” Dessert Reception and help raise funds for Te Lawn Institute with a series of raffle drawings and live auction items, including a Donkey Forklift! You’ll even have multiple “photo ops” with Disney characters.
Conference Educational Sessions kick off on Tuesday morning with a motivational presentation by legendary NFL player Karl Mecklenburg, “Key Lessons from the Linebacker.” Tese lessons were learned in the crucible of NFL competition and apply to any team or individual looking to accomplish their mission. Teamwork—with leadership being the ultimate expression of teamwork; Courage—the courage to try new things and the courage to be decisive; Dedication—hard work, constant learning, and refusing to quit; Desire—the dream, the passion, the mission; Honesty & Forgiveness—with yourself in self-evaluation and with others; and Goalsetting—the reasonable short term specific steps to success. Universal and unchanging, these key lessons will inspire and motivate your team to accomplish their goals.
Tursday morning begins with an equally inspiring educational session as TPI’s Executive Director Casey Reynolds, PhD, addresses “#KeepItREAL: Natural Grass Research and Promotion.” Tis ongoing outreach is taking the message of the benefits of natural grass to decision makers everywhere. TPI is actively and routinely engaged with regulatory agencies that want TO LIMIT TURFGRASS USE. While this often goes unseen, these behind-the-scenes battles have the potential to impact turfgrass producers world-wide. Attendees in this session will learn about TPI’s involvement in defending and promoting natural grass to the many agencies that wish to limit it.
