This two day event is the highlight of the golf tourism calendar and brings together golf tour operators, golf club managers, hotels, golf resorts and industry professionals from across the Island of Ireland offering invaluable networking opportunities alongside an educational programme and interactive and engaging activities designed for both "Golfing Delegates" and "Non Golfing Delegates". We are delighted to be hosting the 29^th year of the Conference, Golf Classic and Gala Irish Golf Awards at Ballygarry Estate Hotel & Spa and The Rose Hotel.

This year’s golf conference “The State of Play” will firstly involve a presentation of the results and feedback from our tour operator member research conducted in the 1st Quarter of this year by Sporting Insights. The objective of the research was to measure the number of golf breaks IGTOA members deliver, the value that this equates to and provide a better understanding of who those visitors are, where they come from and their importance to golf tourism in Ireland. This will be followed by a panel discussion to hear the thoughts of industry experts on the data and to discuss enabling factors to support continued growth in the sector.
