TURF CARE EVENT EXPECTS BIGGEST EDITION YET

The organisers of TurfTech 2026 say the event is set to be the biggest edition yet, with growing industry support, increasing visitor numbers, and an expanded line-up of partners ahead of this year's event on 1 and 2 October at the American Express Stadium in Brighton.

The show says it expects to attract grounds teams, industry experts, manufacturers, and suppliers from across the continent "for two days of insight, innovation, networking, and knowledge sharing."

In a statement, the organisers explained, "At its heart, TurfTech shines a spotlight on the professionals who make elite sports possible. By bringing together grounds teams from leading clubs alongside the companies driving innovation in turf management, the event creates a platform where achievements can be recognised, ideas exchanged, and valuable industry connections formed."

The event has grown significantly since its launch. The inaugural TurfTech welcomed 170 attendees, rising to 320 the following year. This October, organisers say approximately 470 industry professionals are expected to attend.

Supporting industry partners include machinery suppliers Infinicut, Wessex International and Howardson Group, alongside a line-up of professional turf care companies.

Visitors can expect an extensive educational programme featuring 23 presentations delivered by respected names in sports turf management. The sessions will cover key topics facing the industry today, from emerging technologies and innovation to practical experiences from leading grounds teams operating at the highest level of the game.

Organisers say the aim of the event is to create an environment where professionals can focus entirely on learning, networking, and engaging with their peers.
