Conference

2026 Louisiana Turfgrass Association Conference

​

Get ready for one of the biggest turfgrass events of the year on January 8, 2026, inside Tiger Stadium’s Stadium Club South, overlooking the historic south end zone. You’ll be surrounded by turfgrass professionals, experts, and vendors. This is where education meets networking and new opportunities begin: earn pesticide recertification with LDAF, collect GCSAA CEUs, and learn from some of the best in the industry through sessions tailored to the challenges you face.

​

Enjoy great food and fellowship with coffee, breakfast, and lunch included, then walk away with exclusive gear. Every attendee receives the coveted LSU Turfgrass hat and T-shirt. Don’t miss Vendor Alley, where you can discover new products, connect with suppliers, and qualify for exciting door prizes.
