24th Australian Turfgrass Conference and Trade Exhibition

The Australian turf industry continues to be challenged by the effects of climate change (including water shortages and unpredictable weather), client demands for the best playing surfaces, shortages of qualified and experienced staff, reducing budgets and the responsibilities of being good environmental stewards. Further education and training is critical in adapting to the demands of change. The 24th Australian Turfgrass Conference provides turf mangers and their staff with a broad range of speakers and topics that will challenge the mind, promote discussion and debate and more than the occasional laugh.
