Gary Player Design will sponsor KPMG’s fourth annual Golf Business Forum taking place in Budapest, Hungary, May 16-18. The event will bring together investors and developers from across the globe targeting ‘Golf Development in the Emerging Markets’ (www.golfbusinessforum.com).
“Our support of the Golf Business forum is based on the quality of attendees of past conferences and the measurable success we have achieved through our attendance,” said Scott Ferrell, president of Gary Player Design. “We look forward to another informative event and building additional business relationships throughout Europe, as well as in other emerging markets.”
According to recent KPMG research, there are now almost 7,000 golf courses and 4.2 million golfers in the Europe, Middle East and African (EMA) regions. And with approximately 1,000 new courses being established worldwide each year – a significant proportion of which are driven by real estate development in emerging markets – many EMA countries are now the subject of significant international investment.
The two-day event will include insightful presentations from keynote speakers and interactive panel sessions on topics including how to build a winning development team, best practices from top international venues and how to finance new projects, plus special country focus briefings on emerging markets including Croatia and Hungary. There will also be numerous networking opportunities including a gala dinner and golf tournament.
