Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia: The Asian Golf Industry Federation (AGIF) Annual International Summit not only serves as a platform to grow the game, but also helps to shape the region’s golfing industry.

That’s the view of Nick Brown and Catalina Tapia who were among the AGIF Board Members to participate at last week’s AGIF Annual International Summit at Sime Darby Convention Centre.

Brown, Export Sales Manager at Campey Turf Care Systems, said: “What a great week in Kuala Lumpur attending the AGIF Summit 2026.

“It’s encouraging to see the conference continue to grow, not just in terms of numbers, but also in the diversity of delegates, backgrounds and perspectives represented across the turf industry.

“As an AGIF Board Member, it’s great to be part of an organisation that continues to bring people together, encourages knowledge sharing and helps develop the industry across the region.

“There is a real opportunity for more organisations from across our industry to get involved, work together and help shape the future of the AGIF.

“Thanks to everyone involved in making it another successful event.”

Tapia added: “What a fantastic few days at the Asian Golf Industry Federation Summit 2026.

“It was a pleasure to be back among industry colleagues, reconnecting with familiar faces, making new connections and sharing ideas about the future of golf in Asia.

“This year, I had the opportunity to speak on two topics I’m particularly passionate about. The first, Beyond the Logo: The Creative Potential of AI, explored how customised AI marketing tools can help teams think more strategically and develop stronger creative campaigns. The second took a practical look at working with influencers, from choosing the right partners to understanding the opportunities, expectations and potential pitfalls.

“I was also delighted to attend in my capacity as an AGIF Board Member, while representing The Raven Reports.

“A big thank you to Rishi Narain (the AGIF’s Head – Events, Sponsorship and Membership) and the entire AGIF team for another wonderful Summit. Bringing together so many people with a shared passion for the industry is no small feat, and you did a brilliant job.

“As always, the best part was the people. The conversations, the exchange of ideas and the new relationships are what make these gatherings so worthwhile. Looking forward to building on those connections and seeing what comes next.”
