The 4th annual IAGTO European Convention (IEC) returns to Malaga City, on the Costa del Sol in Andalucia, from 18-20 May 2026.
IEC is the most affordable, productive and enjoyable golf tourism trade event in Europe and is set to attract a record 900 delegates in 2026. IEC is open to IAGTO member golf tour operators, golf tourism suppliers, golf destinations and service providers from across Europe, Africa and the Gulf States.
Buyer delegates are fully accredited IAGTO members from outbound golf travel markets worldwide, all selling European golf destinations. Approximately 50% of attending buyers come from the top 22% highest producers in their respective markets.
The convention comprises two days of meetings, all of which are pre-scheduled at the delegates’ request. The venue is the fantastic FYCMA Exhibition Centre which will be familiar to everyone who attended IEC 2024.
All buyer delegates will be accommodated at three hotels in Malaga City, and we encourage suppliers to stay in the city centre also in order to make the most out of the evenings’ networking functions.
The IEC Golf Tournament will be played across four great golf courses, with an afternoon shortgun start, followed by dinner, which will allow for a much more relaxed overall experience.
There will be a Drinks Reception on the evening of the first day, and a Farewell Dinner on the final day, both venues within walking distance of the city centre.
