Las Vegas: Thousands of PGA professionals, golf buyers and industry leaders from 48 US states and 26 countries gathered in Las Vegas for the 2015 PGA Fashion & Demo Experience.
At the Cascata Golf Club and the Palazzo Ballroom of the Venetian Conference Centre, they were able to preview the newest golf apparel and accessory collections, test the latest equipment and golf technology, purchase new merchandise for next season, learn from industry experts and network with colleagues.
“When all is said and done, the Las Vegas PGA Show serves a great purpose – and it’s fun,” said PGA of America Vice President Paul Levy. “The PGA Fashion & Demo Experience is about much more than just buying your spring lines for next year. It’s about networking, building relationships, education and exchanging ideas.”
More than 200 top companies and brands joined with golf industry professionals from around the world at the annual event, which included exhibits and demonstrations, outdoor product testing, a live fashion show, Education Conference, Pro-Pro Tournament and professional networking events.
Visitors to the PGA Fashion & Demo Experience were welcomed by PGA Worldwide Golf Exhibitions Vice President and General Manager Ed Several and PGA of America Chief Commercial Officer Jeff Price.
“We are pleased that the re-launch of the PGA Fashion & Demo Experience has resonated with golf manufacturers and PGA professionals who come from influential golf clubs and retail facilities around the world,” said Several.
“The PGA Fashion & Demo Experience has become the ideal environment in the second half of the golf season for PGA professionals and industry leaders to build business, test and preview the latest products and services, learn new strategies and share best practices among peers.”
The PGA of America and PGA Worldwide Golf Exhibitions organise the PGA Fashion & Demo Experience in Las Vegas and the PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando.
Plans are underway for the 2016 PGA Fashion & Demo Experience in Las Vegas, scheduled for August 15-17. The 2016 PGA Merchandise Show will be held from January 26-29 in Orlando.
