Thank you for supporting
MTC and the University
of Maryland Turfgrass
Programs!!!
Supporters,
Vendors and
Friends of the MTC
Annual
Turfgrass
B
Conference!
ased upon your responses to our recent survey concerning changes to the tradeshow, the MTC board of directors
has decided not to have a conventional tradeshow at
Turfgrass 2015.
However, to continue to help support the University of Maryland turfgrass programs, this year we are offering opportunities
for Vendors, Supporters and Friends to become “Supporters of
Education” with a donation of $250 as a Silver Sponsor or $500
as a Gold Sponsor. As a Sponsor, your company name will be
posted as a “Sponsor” on posters located in prime view in every
educational room. Additionally, all Gold Sponsors may place a
tabletop display in the Prince Georges room where the evening
reception will also occur. Sponsors may also attend the educational
conference, just as exhibitors have done in the past.
Lastly, if you would like to become a Platinum Sponsor for
$1,000, you will be given acknowledgement as a “Supporter
of Education,” as well as acknowledged as a “Sponsor for the
Happy Hour Reception,” which will also be held in the Prince
Georges room on Monday evening. Additionally, Platinum Sponsors
will be listed as such on all MTC emails, MTC USPS mailings and
the MTC website for the entire 2015 year.
Please be generous and help continue supporting the University
of Maryland turfgrass program for 2015.
January 5 – 6, 2015
