A four-day, three-night golf vacation for two at the famed Wigwam Resort in Phoenix, AZ, highlights a terrific Grand Prize in ING’s “Plus One” conference attendance program.
That trip will go to the person who earns the most points by bringing in new members to the 25th Anniversary ING Spring Conference May 31-June 3 at beautiful and historic Mission Inn Resort in Howey-in-the-Hills, FL. Any member who signs up at least one new attendee to the ING Spring Conference will earn a prize – a dozen golf balls, ING shirt or something of similar value.
A special runner-up prize will go to the person who signs up the most individuals, IF that person does not win the Grand Prize (which is based on a points formula).
The non-profit International Network of Golf is the industry’s only media-based networking organization. ING is “where the media and golf industry connect.” Anyone in the golf industry and media is invited to join and attend.
THE GRAND PRIZE PACKAGE INCLUDES:
• Accommodations for three nights at The Wigwam
• Two rounds of golf for two at The Wigwam Golf Club
• Three days of breakfast for two
• Dinner for two at Litchfield’s
HOW IT WORKS
• ING members send appropriate entry form to prospects (they must be NEW attendees to ING – no participation the past 5 years).
• They send e-mail to mike@jamisongolf.com with the name of their prospect(s).
• Follow up with prospect(s) as appropriate, reminding them of the benefits of the ING Conference.
That’s it. When their prospects become registered attendees, ING members will receive credit based on the following point system:
BRING IN AN INDIVIDUAL ATTENDEE: 4 points for each
BRING IN AN APPOINTMENT SHOW EXHIBITOR: 7 points for each
BRING IN A DEMO LAB & APPOINTMENT SHOW EXHIBITOR: 9 points for each
The ING member with the most points will win the Grand Prize.
The non-profit International Network of Golf will conduct annual gathering of media and golf industry companies and leaders. ING is where “media connects with the golf industry.”
Everyone in the golf industry and media is invited to attend the conference and address the key issue of growing the game of golf.
The ING Conference’s presenting sponsor this year is Freedom Golf Association. FGA is a 501(C)(3) charitable organization dedicated to bringing joy and a sense of freedom to the special needs community through their inclusion in the game of golf.
The Dennis Walters Golf Show will kick off the Demo Lab on Tuesday, June 2 at Mission Inn. Dennis will also be at the 25th Anniversary Reunion Awards Dinner that night, to present the Dennis Walters ING Courage Award to this year’s recipient. ING presented Walters with the courage award in 1994, and then named the award in his honor. It goes to an individual who has overcome great odds to contribute to the game of golf.
The conference will feature a full schedule of networking and educational events.
• The ever-popular One-On-One Appointment Show, where exhibitors will have pre-scheduled, 20-minute private meetings with media and attendees of their choice;
• The Demo Lab, where manufacturers will display their latest clubs and training aids for attendees to test first-hand;
• Educational seminars and workshops: Subjects include Marketing & PR; Social Media Marketing; State of the Industry and Player Development, among others.
• The 25th Anniversary Reunion Dinner. Former ING members are invited to attend the Tuesday night awards dinner and play in the Durland Cup on Wednesday morning. Among the awards being presented at the dinner is the Dennis Walters Courage Award, presented to someone who has overcome great odds to contribute to the game of golf.
• The WAGT National Qualifier. This individual stroke play net competition will be divided into five flights. Winners of those flights will earn complimentary entry and accommodations in the World Amateur Golfers Tour National Championship Sept. 24-26 at Shawnee Inn & Resort.
• Plus, the many networking sessions that ING is famous for.
