Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia: Registration has opened for the Asian Golf Industry Federation (AGIF) Annual International Summit 2026.

The three-day extravaganza (October 27-29) is established as the region’s premier gathering for golf industry professionals, business leaders, club executives, superintendents, developers, architects, tourism stakeholders, suppliers, technology providers and industry decision-makers from across Asia-Pacific.

Featuring a high-profile line-up of speakers, the Conference will take place at the Sime Darby Convention Centre, within the grounds of the Kuala Lumpur Golf & Country Club (KLGCC), on October 28-29.

On the adjacent West Course at the KLGCC, the LPGA Tour’s US$3 million Maybank Championship – featuring many of the world’s top players – will be held from October 29-November 1.

The theme for the Summit will be: The Future of Golf in Asia: Innovation in Club & Turf Management with parallel tracks on day one for club managers and executives (Leading the Club) and course superintendents, greenkeepers and agronomists (Mastering the Turf).

This year’s Summit programme also includes the AGIF Golf Business Leaders Tournament at Templer Park Country Club on October 27, the AGIF Annual Awards Gala Dinner (October 28) and exclusive access to the Maybank Championship experience.

Chris Gray, President of the AGIF, said: “As well as offering the chance to watch the world’s finest female golfers in action on the course, the AGIF Summit will again provide an outstanding line-up of world-class speakers and extensive networking opportunities for delegates.

“We’re grateful to the Sime Darby Convention Centre and KLGCC for accommodating us. We look forward to welcoming a wide range of golf industry personnel from around the region for what promises to be a memorable week.”

Located less than 20 minutes from Kuala Lumpur city centre, the Sime Darby Convention Centre is surrounded by greenery and accessible from five major highways.
