EDUCATION

Each year at the Golf Business Conference, expert speakers offer relevant and timely education on the most critical areas of golf course ownership and operations. We’re excited to expand Golf Business Conference 2025 education to include breakout sessions in targeted tracks, pre-conference sessions (including the popular Masterminds workshop), PGA joint sessions, opening and closing session guest speakers, and more! You’ll get answers to your most pressing questions, learn best practices, discover solutions that work for your business, and ultimately be able to make more informed and educated decisions for your golf course business!

2025 PGA SHOW

Consider extending your stay through Friday, January 24 to attend select education and the expansive exhibit hall at the 2025 PGA Show — included at no extra charge with your GBC25 badge as a result of our continuing strategic alliance with Reed Exhibitions and the PGA of America.

“I really wanted to attend the classes and so I booked the event. I’m so glad I came because there wasn’t a single day or class that either the speaker or an attendee didn’t engage in conversation with me. I benefited so much from those conversations as well that I came back armed with just the information that I needed to make the decisions that I need to make for 2024.“

Bring More, Save More!

Four (or more!) heads are better than one, especially when there are so many people to meet, sessions to attend, discussions and events to participate in, and fun to be had! Bring 4 or more representatives from the same company and receive a $100 discount, per attendee! Divide and conquer the whole conference, and when you return to your course, you can regroup to share what you’ve learned, build strategies and plans, test your new tools and techniques, and work together more cohesively! It’s a win-win!
