Buying Show
October 19th - 21st, 2021 - Calgary BMO Centre in Stampede Park (Hall D)
The PGA of Alberta would like to invite you to attend the 2021 PGA of Alberta Buying Show on October 19th – 21st at the Calgary BMO Centre (Hall D)! The purpose of the Buying Show is to bring Golf Professionals, Equipment Manufacturers and Sales Representatives all together in the same building, in order for them to prepare their inventories for the following season. Over the course of the three days, nearly 1,200 people gather from across the province and country to look at what’s new and exciting in the golf industry and conduct business.
Our Buying Show continues to be the only “full scale” show of its kind in Canada and it is with great pride that we host this show every fall for our Members, Industry Suppliers and guests of the Industry. The Buying Show is an event that is restricted to PGA of Canada Members, Non-PGA of Canada Facilities and Golf Industry Equipment Manufacturers.
Exhibitor & Attendee Registration for this year’s Buying Show is NOW OPEN! The PGA of Alberta is extremely excited to invite you to showcase your company and products at the annual Buying Show, this year hosted on Tuesday, October 19th to Thursday, October 21st, 2021. Exhibitor set up will be on Monday, October 18th. Click the links below to register or click the "Exhibitor Hub" or "Attendee Hub" sub-tab below for more information.
The Show will again be hosted in Calgary at the BMO Centre in Stampede Park (Hall D). We are excited to build off the success we had at the 2019 Show in Calgary, and continue that momentum for this years Show which included easy transportation in & out of the city, increased networking opportunities and walking distance from our preferred hotel partner Hotel Arts.
