Vietnam Golf Industry Conference 2026 will take place in Hanoi for the first time, bringing together golf course managers, resort operators, tourism businesses, and other stakeholders across the golf industry.

Combining industry insights, emerging trends, and business networking, the conference is expected to create valuable opportunities for professionals to exchange ideas and explore new directions for Vietnam’s golf industry, particularly as golf tourism and related hospitality services continue to attract growing interest.

What Makes the Vietnam Golf Industry Conference 2026 Worth Attending?

Co organized by Asian Golf Industry Federation (AGIF) and Vietnam Golf & Leisure (VGL), the conference will take place as part of Vietnam Golf & Leisure Awards 2026. Its arrival in Hanoi marks an important opportunity for the local and international golf community to connect, exchange knowledge, and explore new business opportunities.

Under the theme Tourism, Technology, Turf, the event will focus on three areas that play an important role in the development and day to day operations of golf facilities:

Tourism: Golf tourism development, destination positioning, and enhancing the guest experience.
Technology: The application of technology in golf course management, operations, and digital transformation.
Turf: Effective and sustainable turf management solutions that support the needs of modern golf facilities.

Together, these topics offer a broader perspective on the factors shaping the golf industry, from course quality and operational efficiency to destination development and the ability to attract and retain visitors.

Networking Opportunities for Vietnam’s Golf Industry

Beyond the conference sessions, B2B Business Matching will be one of the key activities at Vietnam Golf Industry Conference 2026. The programme is designed to bring together golf courses, resorts, tourism businesses, and product and service providers for direct conversations, business introductions, and potential collaboration.

Alongside this, Golf Fair will bring together a diverse range of businesses across the golf ecosystem, including turf maintenance equipment, golf carts, management software, golf apparel and accessories, as well as golf tour operators and international buyers and suppliers.

For businesses looking to meet new partners, explore operational solutions, or expand their professional network, the event offers a valuable opportunity to connect with the wider golf and hospitality community.
