Highlights included two major presentations: The 31st Annual ING Media Awards on Wednesday and the inaugural ING Media Showcase of New Products on Thursday. We also signed up several new members during the three days.
Also, ING introduced its new apparel sponsor, Jaxson Maximus, which had a display of its outstanding line in the ING Hospitality Room. A big thanks to the father-daughter team of Madison and Christian Boehm of the Miami-based company.

The ING Media Showcase featured five innovative companies selected to showcase their groundbreaking golf products in a dynamic press conference-style format. More than three dozen companies applied for a spot in this exclusive showcase. A panel of ING media members carefully selected the following five companies who presented their products to a room of members of the media: lowercase golf, Go For It Golf, LitFit, AVGAR and Stix Jack Nicklaus golf clubs.
A special presentation was made during the Media Awards ceremony. Hall Of Famer Jan Stephenson was on hand to present the ING Jan Stephenson Entrepreneur Award to longtime ING member and renowned media personality Tony Leodora.
