Lawrence, Kansas, United States: The GCSAA Conference and Trade Show returns to New Orleans from January 18-21, 2027, for the first time since 2009.

The Golf Course Superintendents Association of America (GCSAA) and presenting partners, the Golf Course Builders Association of America (GCBAA) and American Society of Golf Course Architects (ASGCA), will offer a week of interactive education, networking experiences and industry innovations.

The week will also help conclude GCSAA’s year-long 100th anniversary celebration.

The 2027 GCSAA Conference and Trade Show (CTS) will be held at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Centre and starts with the GCSAA Golf Championships presented by Toro (January 16-18), in nearby Biloxi, Mississippi.

Following the GCSAA Golf Championships, the education conference and trade show will offer unparalleled professional development and networking opportunities for those who manage, own and build golf facilities.

Rhett Evans, GCSAA CEO, said: “The 2027 CTS is poised to carry the momentum we experienced at the 2026 show as we wrap up the celebration of GCSAA’s Centennial.

“It’s fitting that we are in New Orleans, which is a great example of combining history and progress. It is going to be an excellent opportunity for our attendees and exhibitors to be at the epicentre of the golf course management industry as we enter our second century.”
