Search for exhibitors and product categories

Using the search types provided you can pinpoint exactly who you want to see at the show. To see all search options, roll over the ‘Search the Show’ tab at the top left corner of the page and select the option that best fits your needs.

• Search by Exhibitor: If you want to find a particular exhibitor, utilize the exhibitor search by typing in the company name or filtering the list alphabetically.
• Search by Product: Use our extensive product category search to discover all of the companies who offer the products you’re interested in.
• Search by Featured Exhibitors: To get a closer look at a company’s products you may want to view the Featured Exhibitors to see detailed product displays and live video presentations.

On the bottom left of the floor plan, use the zoom tool at any point to enlarge the floor plan.

When scrolling over booths on the floor plan, the exhibitor name and booth number will appear. By clicking on a booth, additional exhibitor information will be available to you.

Save your exhibitors and create a customized floor plan

Start researching which exhibitors you need to see, and save yourself and your feet many steps in the process. With this tool, you can store and print a list of exhibitors you'd like to visit, use the company contact information to ask questions and set up appointments in advance, and even share your information with your preferred exhibitors.

To save your exhibitors, simply click on the 'Sign Up' button at the top of the page, and then click on ‘Create New Account’ to get started.

From within any list of exhibitors returned in your search criteria, companies can be added to your planner by checking the corresponding box or you can select the exhibitor’s name to view more details about the company on the floor plan.

To quickly create your list, you can also click on ‘Profile Wizard’ from your My Planner page, and then step through the wizard by selecting a category and adding all of the companies who offer products in this category.

To take your list with you, click print, and you'll have a handy list of the exhibitors you added to your agenda. In addition, you'll also have a copy of the floor plan with all the exhibitors in your list highlighted to save you time at the show.

Build your calendar and add appointments

With an account on My Planner, you can also manage your entire schedule during the conference and show week.

To get started managing your appointments, dinners and other show activities simply click on the My Events tab within the My Planner options. You will notice the calendar is defaulted to the show month.

To add an appointment to your calendar, all you need to do is select the ‘Add New Events’ button. Complete the date, time, subject and description information, and it will be stored in your calendar.

Any day in which you have added an appointment will be highlighted in blue, so you can select the day or click on ‘View My Events’ to see appointments you have previously added.

In addition, if you are attending one of the educational conferences held in conjunction with the Golf Industry Show, you can also search the Session Catalog and save sessions you'd like to attend. Also, seminars and other events that carry a separate registration will automatically be added to your calendar within a couple of business days of your registration.

In order to export an event to outlook, select the ‘View My Events’ and click on the ‘Add Event to Outlook’ icon. You can set reminder through Outlook to ensure you don’t forget about appointments. (*You must select the ‘Add Event to Outlook’ for each item you would like to store in Outlook).
