Golf Business Forum 2020 Unveils Its Next Group of Speakers, With Early-Bird Delegate Tickets Now On Sale

POSTED ON February 5, 2020 @ 3:23 pm

Working together with Event Partner, Australian Sports Turf Managers Association, and Foundation Partner Golf Australia, Golf Business Forum has just announced its next group of speakers for Australia’s most influential golf business event, to be held in Melbourne from 23-24 June. 

“We’re very excited about the quality of content we’ll be delivering at this year’s Forum”, noted the event’s Director, Guy Chapple. “We made a commitment to the golf business community to deliver the most relevant and up-to-date content we can”, added Guy. 

Highlights of the latest speaker release include Jaquie Scammell, Australia’s leading customer service expert; Don Rea, Owner/Operator of Augusta Ranch Golf Club (Arizona, USA); Ryan Brandeburg, Executive Director, Golf Tourism New Zealand; and Ali Terai, Founder and CEO, Future Golf. 

The Forum’s main content themes will focus on Customer, Marketing, Leadership and Industry Trends & Insights. “Over the next few weeks we’ll continue to announce further great speakers as we fulfill our commitment to deliver content that really matters”, noted Guy. 

Of course, it’s not just about the speakers at the Forum. There’s the ‘Golf Business and Sports Turf Trade Exhibition’ (the largest and most diverse golf and sports field industry exhibition ever staged in Australia) and the ‘Social and Networking Event’ (at one of Melbourne’s coolest bars). Guy explains, “If you are part of the golf industry, Golf Business Forum 2020 is your destination to meet other golf business professionals, expand your knowledge, be inspired by new ways of thinking and develop the tools for improving your golf business performance.” 

Golf’s major industry organisations, including Golf Australia and the PGA of Australia are supporting the Forum, as are premium commercial partners Toro, Club Car, Victorian Government, Yamaha, Schweppes, Soniq and Qantas. 

The first early-bird release of discounted delegate tickets is now on sale. There’s only a limited number available, with further discounts for PGA Members and groups of 3 or more.
