After the success of last year’s event and positive feedback from PGA of BC members and attending vendors, the show will again be taking place at the River Rock Casino Resort in Richmond, BC on Tuesday, October 29 and Wednesday, October 30. The River Rock serves as a convenient, vibrant, and engaging venue for the Fall Trade Show and will also host the PGA of BC Awards Night, sponsored by Tribal, on October 29. Additionally, the PGA of BC is excited to offer social and entertainment programming throughout the event. All of this housed under one roof allows for an accessible and effective opportunity for golf Professionals and Vendors to network and conduct business over the course of the two-day event. The River Rock Casino Resort is conveniently located less than 10 minutes from Vancouver International Airport and 20 minutes from the Tsawwassen Ferry Terminal and Downtown Vancouver.
Additionally, the Association has secured more space for this year’s event. As the PGA of BC Awards Celebration will take place in The Buffet at River Rock, the full space of the Whistler Ballroom will be utilized to accommodate an additional 28 booths. This additional space will be dedicated to our OEM attendees, providing a one-stop shop for PGA of BC members looking for the newest golf club equipment: The Hard Goods Hall. As part of this new space, the Association plans to have a putting green available in the space for members to try out new product. For an illustration of how this space will be organized, please see the following: Hard Goods Hall
In addition to the 28 booths featured in The Hard Goods Hall, 57 vendor booths will be available in the River Rock Resort Theatre for soft goods vendors. We will also feature multiple booths on the second-floor foyer of the River Rock Resort Theatre, with a specific focus on association, employment, and administrative presences. The remaining space of the second-floor foyer will be utilized for our expanded Business Social Lounge, offering a larger space for members and vendors to network and a dedicated beverage service not subject to seating capacity concerns. We thank Tagmarshal for their sponsorship of this year's Business Social Lounge.
