IOG SCOTSTURF TEAMS UP WITH ROAD EXPO TO HELP LOCAL AUTHORITIES SINGLE-SOURCE BUSINESS DECISIONS

With over 70 exhibitors already confirmed, plus an unmissable series of education presentations and exciting live product demonstrations, as well as award ceremonies including the Institute of Groundsmanship’s Scottish Football Groundsman of the Year, this year’s IOG Scotsturf exhibition on November 5 & 6 at Edinburgh’s Royal Highland Centre is on course to be more beneficial than ever to open space professionals across all sectors.

In addition, because the show is this year co-located with Road Expo Scotland – the only dedicated event for the roads and traffic management industry in Scotland – IOG Scotsturf will forcibly reinforce its relevance to all local authority decision-makers, complementing its standing as a must-see event for all golf course and grounds care professionals.

Last year’s IOG Scotsturf was attended by more exhibitors and visitors than ever before, and Show Manager Roy Daniels says the year-on-year support for the event is founded on the presence of a varied mixture of exhibitors – many of which display products for the first time in Scotland - as well as a programme of show features designed to add tremendous value to the time spent there by visitors.

“In addition to a comprehensive range of products to suit every budget and designed to make life easier and more effective, IOG Scotsturf works hard to ensure that its free education seminars address all the issues of relevance,” he says.

“With Road Expo taking place simultaneously in an adjoining hall, the multi-discipline decision-makers from local government throughout Scotland and the North of England this year have the ideal showcase to see, source and secure everything they need in one place and at the same time.”
