Upcoming Event

Come to the Bay

January 22 – 25, 2024

Virginia Beach, VA

Come to the Bay continues to expand to meet industry needs. What started a few years ago as a two-day conference with a vision to uniquely serve the industry has expanded to four full days. In addition to a service project, industry certifications and recertifications, classes on buffers and other pertinent topics, the modified Turf and Landscape Short Course will return. That two-day Short Course, introduced last year, was tremendously popular. Look for it on the last two days of Come to the Bay.

Another first! Virginia Tech persons at the Hampton Roads AREC asked us to move the event to their location and “We have tremendous resources for hands-on training,” they said. We didn’t hesitate to accommodate their request. And thanks to SiteOne and WeedMan, we will have a large tent available to handle the expected crowd. Lawns and Gardens Plus is providing one of the lunches and Agronomic Lawn Management is once again a Primary Sponsor.

Other sponsorships are still available. For details, go to www.vaturf.org/come-to-the-bay
