Event Details

The 2024 IAGTO European Convention (IEC) will take place in the city of Malaga on the Costa del Sol in Andalucia, Spain, from 13-15 May.

Existing IAGTO members need to log in to register. Non-members can go to the Registration Page and apply to attend IEC 2024 which includes your application to join IAGTO.

IEC is the most cost-effective and productive golf tourism trade event in Europe and is set to attract some 750 delegates in 2024. IEC is open to IAGTO member suppliers, golf destinations and service providers from across Europe, Africa and the Gulf States.

Buyer delegates attend from outbound golf travel markets worldwide, and all sell European golf destinations and are fully accredited IAGTO members. In 2023, 50% of attending buyers were from the top 22% highest producers in their respective markets.

The convention comprises two days of 20-minute meetings, all of which are pre-scheduled at the delegates’ request, with no forced appointments. The venue is the fantastic FYCMA Exhibition Centre which is easily accessible from downtown Malaga City and the nearby Torremolinos. Transportation will be provided from all official hotels.

In addition, the IEC Golf Tournament will be played across three great golf courses and each night delegates will be able to enjoy further networking at one of two Welcome Cocktail Receptions (13 May), the IEC Celebration Dinner for all delegates (14 May) and the Dine-Around in Malaga City followed by the unforgettable farewell Carlton Bar (15 May).
