BIGGA Delegation with Bernhard and Company to become biennial event

After 23 years and more than 220 delegates, BIGGA and Bernhard and Company have come to an agreement that will see the initiative become a biennial event, with BIGGA members heading to the GCSAA Conference and Trade Show every two years.

In the intervening years, members of the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America (GCSAA) will participate in a new delegation that sees them travel to the BIGGA Turf Management Exhibition (BTME) each January.

Each year, around 10% of attendees to BTME are from overseas and BIGGA is proud that the global reputation of the trade show and education programme is such that Bernhard and Company and the GCSAA are eager to provide an enhanced opportunity for American turf professionals to attend the show.

Bernhard and Company will continue to support BIGGA members and conversations are ongoing. Any educational opportunities that come to light during those times will be shared with members in due course.

The next BIGGA Delegation with Bernhard and Company will take place in 2026, when the GCSAA’s Conference and Trade Show heads to Orlando, Florida. Applications will launch in summer 2025.

Our thanks go to Bernhard and Company for their continued support of BIGGA members.
