RICHMOND, BC (PGA of BC) - The 2023 PGA of BC Buying Show has proven to be a hot ticket. Since registration opened to exhibitors in late June, the show has completely sold-out all available booths. The Association’s Office Team is now pleased to open registration to members to be a part of this year’s exciting event.
The Buying Show will open at 9AM on Wednesday, October 25. Members will be welcomed by early morning refreshments in the front lobby entrance of the River Rock Theatre. The PGA of BC Office Team will be conducting registration in this same area. Members are then invited to visit exhibitors located on the Theatre floor, as well as the second level of the entrance lobby. The second day of the Show will also open at 9AM and will include a Breakfast Buffet. On both days, members and exhibitors will be treated to a Lunch Buffet, with food service starting at noon.
The first day of the Show will conclude at 5PM. At which time, members are invited to attend the social activities being held throughout the River Rock Casino Resort. The Office Team is excited to share information about the social events and all of our presenting sponsors in the coming weeks. Inclusive of these activities will be a reception held in the River Rock’s Whistler Ballroom. Refreshments and Hors D’oeuvres will be made available starting at 5:45PM. Thereafter, the PGA of BC will kick-off the 2023 Awards Celebration in the Whistler Ballroom at 6:45PM. The Team is eager to share all of the show enhancements with attending members and celebrate the year-long achievements of this year’s deserving award recipients.
For additional information about the 2023 PGA of BC Buying Show, including a full itinerary, please visit the 2023 Events Page found HERE .
We recognize that with the show being sold-out not all exhibitors wishing to purchase a booth to attend the show can do so. To service any exhibitor who was unable to obtain a booth, the PGA of BC Office Team is creating multiple alternative options for them to be involved, including a rotating exhibitor booth being hosted by the Association. A full list of attending exhibitors utilizing this space will be released closer to the show dates.

We are also opening up registration for members of the PGA of Canada from outside of British Columbia, the NGCOA, CMAC, and BCGSA. To register to attend the show please complete the Industry Member Attendance Registration Form
Members of the golf industry not associated with the PGA of Canada, NGCOA, CMA, or BCGSA, who would like to attend the Show for purchasing purposes can register later this month at a cost of $50 per attendee up to a maximum of four (4) per associated facility.
