Inaugural Golf Business Forum deemed a huge success

POSTED ON July 28, 2016 @ 2:06 pm

Ive just returned from Melbourne where I attended the Inaugural Golf Business Forum. With 210 attendees it was a huge success by all means.

Golf Industry Central was the event’s Media supporter as well attended all the various speaker sessions as well had the opportunity to have some fantastic networking opportunities from delegates from throughout the various sectors of the industry- owners, suppliers, managers and other staff.

The feedback was great from everyone we spoke to- as well the general vibe around was very positive.

With a great line up of speakers including our US Business partner Bill Yates whom spoke on Pace of Play.

Here is a short video summary

I will have a full story published in the coming weeks with more pictures and feedback from attendees and organisers.

Congratulations to organisers Andrew Davies and Guy Chapple for bringing this event (and vision) to life.
