IAGTO North American Convention: 19-22 May 2010
The Event
The 2nd IAGTO North America Golf Tourism Convention will take place at the IAGTO
Award-winning PGA National Resort & Spa in Palm Beach, Florida from 19-22 May
2010. The Convention will be attended by
over 70 golf tour operators that sell North America as a golf destination.
Approximately half of the operators will be from the USA & Canada and the remainder
from other countries. So if developing your domestic and international visitor green
fee revenue is important to your business, then this event is not to be missed.
The Convention is open to North American suppliers and tourist boards eager to meet
with domestic and international golf tour operators selling North America. Six hours
of workshop sessions will enable you to meet the majority of the operators on a
1-to-1 basis. This will be preceded by an IAGTO Briefing to ensure you get the most
out of your meetings, and seminars designed to give you an insight into current
golf tourism trends. We have also set aside 90-minutes for you to meet with media
& marketing companies who specialise in working with golf resorts & golf destinations.
Our Convention dove-tails into the end of Pow Wow so that those of you travelling
to Orlando can make the short journey to Palm Beach after Pow Wow to make the most
of your visit to Florida.
We were honoured to have hosted the Inaugural IAGTO North America Conference, and
we are looking forward to many more to come. We were able to make some great new
acquaintances and also renew some of our existing relationships.

What a great conference! I think that it will be only a matter of time before the
North American conference becomes a major event on the schedule for destinations
and suppliers.
