2027 GCSAA Conference and Trade Show coming to New Orleans

The GCSAA Conference and Trade Show returns to New  Orleans Jan. 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 yearlong 100th anniversary  celebration. 

The 2027 GCSAA Conference and Trade Show will be held at the Ernest N. Morial Convention  Center and starts with the GCSAA Golf Championships presented by Toro, Jan. 16-18, in nearby  Biloxi, Miss. 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. 

“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,” said Rhett Evans, GCSAA CEO. “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 epicenter of the golf  course management industry as we enter our second century.” 

In addition to dedicated education and show time, each day of the GCSAA Conference will  feature special events and opportunities.
