Greenkeepers Conference – The Future of Turf Management
7-9 October 2025
We warmly invite you to a unique event organized by Black Water Links Course dedicated to the latest challenges and solutions in green space management – with a special focus on golf courses and sports fields.
As all greenkeepers know, due to European Parliament regulations, the availability of chemical products used in our industry is becoming increasingly limited each year. The pressing question is no longer if, but when plant protection products will be completely banned on golf courses and sports grounds.
At every conference we’ve attended in recent years, the same issue keeps resurfacing: how can we achieve top-quality turf under increasingly restricted chemical use? This question has been close to my heart for years. Our extensive experience in maintaining facilities with minimal or strictly controlled use of chemical agents has allowed us to develop effective methods that we are now ready to share with a wider audience.
During the conference, we will also address important topics such as the origin of chemical agents, carbon footprint, and sustainable resource management. Furthermore, this event will serve as a platform to showcase cutting-edge technologies that support greenkeepers’ work – including robotic mowers, drones, and AI-driven solutions that are revolutionizing golf course management and helping make better data-driven decisions.
Join us to gain practical knowledge, discover innovative tools, and prepare together for the future of our industry.
