Description:
Have you ever seen that shiny new robotic mower and thought, “How would that even work in a park?” Or, have you wondered, “What would it cost and what would we need to do to get computer-controlled irrigation, sports lights, splash pad control or Bluetooth access control systems?” Hear from the pros and companies themselves and see and hold the latest and greatest tried-and-true technology, software and hardware to help you manage your park realm — all moderated and fact checked by the leaders of Florida’s largest sports field system: Hillsborough County Parks and Recreation. No sales... just the facts, the benefits, the pitfalls, the trials and the real-life experiences.

Learning Objectives:
1. Learn what technology is available to assist professionals in managing their park system and what is involved, what it costs, how it works and what you could save using it.
2. Hear real-life trials of cutting-edge technology, how it works and what you can expect if you implement it.
3. Hold, feel, touch and interact with the software, hardware and products themselves.
