About KPMG Golf Business Forum

The Golf Business Forum is a unique platform for professionals involved in the golf business industry to meet, learn, exchange ideas and do business in an exciting and memorable event. KPMG's Golf Advisory Services set out to create a unique international event that focused on the business around golf. With extensive research and much valuable input from the industry, the concept of the Golf Business Forum was developed. The forums provide an invaluable opportunity for all individuals with an interest in the business of golf to meet and explore matters of mutual concern. The GBF has quickly established itself as the foremost golf industry event, where relationships are forged and business is done. Since the event was introduced in 2004, KPMG has held five successful Golf Business Forums, embarking on the 5th in 2008. Each year, the Forum is taken to a different venue and location, such as Budapest, Prague, Cyprus, Ireland, and in 2009 to Wales. Each destination offers a unique learning example for the golf market. The Forum has continued to grow with each year, attracting a wider range of attendees from all around the world. The upcoming Golf Business Forum will be held at the Ritz Carlton, Powerscourt in Ireland. It is anticipated to include over 300 delegates from over 46 countries.
