Directions
Sports Field Managers Association of New Jersey (SFMANJ) has once again joined forces with New Jersey Turfgrass Association (NJTA) and Rutgers University to collaborate on the Rutgers Lawn, Landscape and Sports Turf Field Day at the Rutgers Adelphia Research Farm in Freehold, NJ on Wednesday, July 29, 2026.
I would like to take this opportunity to invite your company to exhibit and/or demonstrate equipment at the SFMANJ-sponsored Trade Show and Equipment Demonstration portion of this annual event in 2026. In recent years, over 400 lawn, landscape, sports turf, and turfgrass research professionals attended this field day. Don’t miss this year’s high visibility outdoor event!
Vendors may arrive at 6:30 am. The Trade Show will open for Field Day attendees at 7:30 am and remain open until 9:00 am. There are two types of booth spaces available: 1) Table-top style booth space for vendors NOT participating in vendor demonstrations; 2) Vendors purchasing an equipment demonstration(s) will be provided additional space to display their equipment in the trade show area. Everyone is free to set up canopies. Equipment demonstrations will begin at 9:00 am and be embedded with turfgrass education sessions. This year these will be limited to a total of six (6) five-minute equipment demonstrations.
There will be four educational sessions consisting of three 15-to-20-minute concurrent presentations, with equipment demonstrations imbedded into two of the sessions. This format has allowed for smaller groups and more direct communication with the participants for vendors demonstrating equipment.
A confirmation, including specific sign-in procedures will be forwarded to you upon receipt of your registration.
