Vietnam Golf & Leisure Awards and AGIF Hanoi Conference unite for landmark 2026 event
The 12th edition of the Vietnam Golf & Leisure Awards will take place in Hanoi on 15–16 September 2026, marking an important milestone as the Awards are held for the first time alongside the AGIF Hanoi Conference. The two-day program will bring together the Gala Awards Dinner, industry talkshows, the AGIF Hanoi Conference, and a dedicated Networking & Golf Fair under one unified event framework.
12 Years of Vietnam Golf & Leisure Awards
Now in its 12th year, the Vietnam Golf & Leisure Awards continues to recognise outstanding golf courses, resorts, services, and industry contributors, serving as a respected benchmark for Vietnam’s golf and leisure sector.
In 2026, the Awards will expand with new categories and a broader industry program designed to encourage dialogue, collaboration, and business connections across Vietnam’s growing golf ecosystem.
AGIF Hanoi Conference: Turf & Club Management
A key highlight of the program will be the AGIF Hanoi Conference, marking the first time the Asia Golf Industry Federation hosts a conference in Hanoi as part of the event.
The conference will focus on Turf and Club Management, covering golf course operations, club management, sustainability, and practical approaches to support the long-term development of the golf industry.
Networking & Golf Fair
The Networking & Golf Fair will provide a focused platform for golf courses, resorts, tour operators, suppliers, technology providers, equipment brands, hospitality partners, and industry stakeholders to meet, exchange ideas, and explore new business opportunities.
As part of the wider Vietnam Golf & Leisure Awards and AGIF Hanoi Conference 2026, the fair is designed to support meaningful connections between local and international partners interested in Vietnam’s golf market.
