HILTON HEAD, S.C. – The 2024 Bedding Conference is a little over a week away, and Furniture Today and its partners are offering attendees three welcoming activities in which to participate.
The annual golf tournament sponsored by Spring Air International, a volunteer charity event with the local Boys & Girls Club sponsored by King Koil and new to the agenda, a pickleball tournament sponsored by Renaissance Elevated Sleep Technology (R.E.S.T.).
The Bedding Conference is set for May 14-16 at the Hilton Beachfront Resort & Spa in Hilton Head, S.C.
New to the lineup this year is a pickleball tournament sponsored by Renaissance Elevated Sleep Technology (R.E.S.T.). The tournament is open to all levels of players – long-time pickleballers, as well as beginners looking to explore the sport. The bedding industry has a number of serious players, including Paris Fealy, R.E.S.T.’s chief executive and Bob McCarthy, managing director of Resident Home.
Pickleball, a cross between tennis, badminton and ping pong, has become one of the fastest growing sports in America.
The Bedding Conference pickleball matches start at 1 p.m. at a court a short walk from the conference hotel.
The volunteer event this year will feature a carnival for about 140 kids at the Hilton Head Boys & Girls Club. A conference fan favorite since 2017, King Koil sponsors the annual event for local children giving them the opportunity to play games, dance, eat and this year, enjoy a Build-A-Bear workshop experience at the club. Kicking off at 3 p.m. at the club, shuttles will transport participants.
Tee time for the golf tournament, sponsored by Spring Air, is 1 p.m. Shuttles from the hotel to the Arthur Hills Golf Course at Palmetto Dunes will leave at 12:15 p.m. A staple of the Bedding Conference since its inception, the tournament always results in bragging rights for the winning team.
The three activities are open to all conference attendees, who can modify their involvement by logging into their registration. For additional information or assistance, feel free to reach out to the conference team at Luna@bridgetowermedia.com.
