The 5th annual TIA Tennis Forum will be Saturday, Aug. 27, at 5:30 p.m. at the Grand Hyatt in New York City. The Tennis Forum will be preceded by a tennis Trade Show (starting at 2 p.m.).
Held in conjunction with the 41st Annual USTA Tennis Teachers Conference, the Forum will present the latest news about the state of the tennis industry, including participation, equipment sales data, grassroots initiatives, 10 and Under Tennis, and more. Importantly, the Forum will outline pathways to increasing the number of frequent players in the U.S., ways to better define and boost the economic growth and impact of the tennis industry, and effective ways to distribute clear, consistent messaging of health, fitness and the reasons to play tennis.
Following the Forum, at 6 p.m., will be the 5th Annual Hall of Fame Induction ceremony. At 6:15, the Opening Session of the USTA Tennis Teachers Conference will begin, featuring keynote speaker Patrick McEnroe, the USTA's general manager of Player Development. The Trade Show will reopen at 7 p.m including a cocktail party for attendees.
The USTA Tennis Teachers Conference runs from Aug. 27 to 30 and is a leading resource for teaching professionals, organizers and coaches and includes presentations and seminars, an exhibitor area, and opportunities for tennis teachers to network. |
