STRI Group has
announced that its annual research open days will take place on 25 and 26
September 2019.
The event, which
takes place at STRI’s UK research and development facility in Bingley, West
Yorkshire, offers an opportunity for sport facility managers,
owners, groundstaff and greenkeepers to learn about and discuss the
development of the latest products and technology for
the sportsturf industry.
Dr Christian Spring,
research operations manager, said: “STRI Research Days are an excellent way to
gain insight into the latest developments and thinking on tackling current and
future turf management issues.
“STRI Research Days
offer turf managers a unique opportunity to network with, not only fellow turf
managers, but to view and discuss the latest developments in turf maintenance
with turfgrass scientists and industry professionals. This is reflected
in feedback from previous events, where those attending have valued learning
about what is new and upcoming in our industry and to have an opportunity to
discuss these ideas.”
Delegates will be
taken on a tour around a range of live research stations by an STRI staff
member. At each station, there will be a joint presentation on the research
being undertaken delivered by a member of STRI’s research team and
representatives from the sponsor company. There will be time at the end of each
presentation for delegates to ask questions.
STRI Research 2019
attendees can look forward to a freshly prepared breakfast, lunch and
refreshments at no additional cost, as well catching up with fellow sport
industry professionals. A limited number of discounted rooms are available and
will be provided on a first come, first-serve basis.
