About This Request
Indoor Golf Academy University (IGAU) is building a speaker and instructor roster to deliver our core curriculum to indoor golf facility owners, operators, and staff. We’re looking for practitioners, consultants, and industry experts who can teach real-world, actionable content across five curriculum tracks.
We welcome submissions from active facility owners/operators, simulator and technology vendors, PGA/LPGA professionals, marketing and finance consultants, and operations specialists with direct experience in the indoor golf or broader entertainment/hospitality industry.
Sessions may be delivered as: live in-person workshops, virtual webinars, recorded video modules, or panel discussions. Indicate your preferred format(s) in your submission.

What We’re Looking For

- Engaging delivery: comfort presenting to a mixed audience of first-time owners and experienced operators
- Willingness to share materials: slide decks, templates, checklists, or worksheets that support the session (IGAU can help format these)
Vendor speakers (simulator manufacturers, software providers, etc.) are welcome and encouraged for Track B, provided sessions remain educational rather than a sales pitch.
