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 2024 education to include 16 breakout sessions in four targeted tracks, two pre-conference sessions (including the popular Masterminds workshop), four 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! View the developing agenda here.
NETWORKING & SOCIAL ACTIVITIES
Reconnect with old friends and colleagues, and forge new relationships at plentiful networking and social activities: the annual Yamaha Golf Outing at Reunion Resort & Golf Club Palmer Course (an add-on to your GBC24 registration), the popular “New NGCOA Member & GBC First Time Attendee Reception,” “Owner’s Dinner,” opening and closing receptions, frequent networking breaks, a Sponsor Fair with happy hour, NGCOA awards recognition, various activities in the NGCOA Booth in the PGA Show exhibition hall, and more! View the networking and social activities here.
Bring More, Save More!
Three (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! Save 10% when you register 3-4 people from your facility; save 15% when you register 5 or more! 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!

“I try to bring a team… It is by far the most productive time we spend each and every year. I can’t believe all courses don’t send a small team to wring the most out of it, over a period of years, it’s the best money you will spend, guaranteed.”
