STMA moving ahead with 2021 conference

The Sports Turf Managers Association (STMA) says the organization is moving ahead with plans to hold its annual conference in Palm Springs, Calif. The event is scheduled for Jan. 11-14, 2021.

“Our first priority is the safety of our participants, exhibitors, speakers and staff,” the organization said on its website. “We are currently working with our hotels and the Palm Springs Convention Center to learn about and evaluate their safety protocols.”

STMA’s board of directors will make a final decision in the fourth quarter of 2020 whether to hold the event in-person or virtually.

Online registration for the event will open Oct. 15 and STMA says it will keep the cost of registration at $375 per member with one-day registration and group discounts available.
