2022 - GolfBIC is back. GolfBIC is live. GolfBIC is crucial.
This unique event will look at sports and leisure outside of our golf industry, and give members the opportunity to learn and understand issues that other sports face and how they have succeeded (or failed) in tackling these issues. 

It will focus on how the golf industry can create a competitive socialising environment that can support improved sustainability for the new players who have joined golf since COVID-19 came into our lives. Location: The Belfry Hotel & Resort, Birmingham Date: 21st March 2022 Over the last 20 months, COVID has taken away so many face-to-face opportunities to network with other industry professionals. Therefore, GolfBIC 2022 is the perfect chance to engage with over 150 golf facility owners and discuss business as the 2022 season begins. Attendees will guarantee themselves the chance to browse a wide range of exhibitors, network with like-minded professionals, and learn from leading industry speakers. 

Doug Poole CEO UK Golf Federation comments: "There is no better place to be than GolfBIC this coming March – so many opportunities to learn from each other and grow all our businesses together in this one stunning location, as well as meeting key people in the commercial golf market.” 

Richard Haygarth, Director of Maple Leaf Golf says "GolfBIC is the ideal event for anyone involved in the golf industry, especially as the industry enters a new era post COVID restrictions. We have an excellent set of speakers lined up for March 2022, and look forward to reconnecting with past acquaintances and meeting new people who have joined our industry more recently.” 

GolfBIC is open to all proprietary golf facility owners, golf industry service suppliers and golf brands. See contact details below to receive further information.
