AWARDS DINNER
The Annual PGA of BC Trade Show is the largest single gathering of golf professionals in the province. The trade show showcases the latest trends in golf equipment, clothing & accessories all under one roof!
Penticton is located in the heart of British Columbia’s beautiful Okanagan Valley. It is a city that offers all of the amenities of larger urban centres, yet maintains its small town charm and friendliness. Close to world class wineries, hotels and restaurants, Penticton has proven to be a popular and successful venue for the PGA of BC Trade Show over the past four years. In 2007 we had more than 175 golf facilities in attendance and 97 exhibiting companies with the likes of Acushnet Canada, Callaway Golf, Caufield Apparel, G&G Golf Company, PING Canada & TaylorMade adidas Golf.

TESTIMONIALS
G&G Owner - Cori German
“Since the move to Penticton the BC show has gotten stronger each year. As a supplier we have enjoyed the smaller venue of Penticton, with most everyone being from out of town we have found the buying atmosphere is more relaxed as the pros are able to focus on their tasks at hand and not worry about getting back to their shops. The special evenings and extra events that the BCPGA have organized has also made for a great way to build camaraderie between pros and suppliers”

BOOTH ALLOCATION
Booth space is allocated on the basis of several factors. It is of primary concern to the Association and show management that all exhibitors are pleased with their participation in the Trade Show. Sponsors of the Association events & programs receive first priority. Space is then allocated on the basis of the factors listed below: members of the CGIA, provided they have registered and paid by July 15th, 2008, past exhibitors of the PGA of BC Trade Show, when registration & payment is received, as well as the size and nature of the display. The Penticton Trade & Convention Centre has limited floor space & therefore the PGA of British Columbia will do its best to accommodate all exhibitors with their requests.
