THEME FOR golfex 2008

The theme in 2008 is aptly named “FUTURE GOLF – harnessing young talent today for success in the future”.

Objectives of the conference

Announcing the biggest global gathering of junior development pioneers and organisations focused on growing the future of the game.

To showcase the efforts that are taking place globally to replenish the supply line of golfers and thereby show and encourage sponsors and corporate stakeholders to invest in the most important sector in modern golf today. If you’re a brand manager, marketing Director or Sponsorship manager, this is the ideal opportunity to get to understand what is happening in Junior golf and how you can reach, talk to and help kids develop their game.

With the growing number of opportunities for leisure and sports activities afforded the youth of today the focus at golfex will be on the importance of exposing them to the game golf and it’s values. This is to ensure that golf course designers and builders, equipment manufacturers, sponsors and media owners still have a loyal following of passionate golfers in the future.
