What Drives the Market: Pricing, Marketing, and Forecasting: Join Dr. Ben Campbell, an assistant professor and extension economist at the University of Georgia, as he talks about how the turf market has—and is—evolving and what these changes mean to your business. He also will examine different pricing strategies and how to choose the strategy that works best for your business, as well as ways to forecast demand and how these forecasts should drive your decision making.
What I Wish I’d Known (panel discussion): Come hear several long-time TPI members discuss their experiences in the turfgrass industry, including how the industry has changed and what changes they think we must make to face the future effectively. Tey’ll share some of the good advice they’ve received over the years and talk about what they wish they’d known when they started. Tis will be a fun and informative discussion with something for everyone!
