SiGMA enters a new era of executive networking with the Golf Tour 2026
SiGMA is set to redefine executive networking with the launch of the SiGMA Golf Tour, a new global initiative that brings C-level conversations onto championship fairways. Running alongside SiGMA’s seven flagship summits in 2026, the tour positions golf as a strategic extension of the conference experience, where relationships deepen, partnerships form and business moves forward beyond the exhibition floor.
The tour will span seven international destinations, mirroring SiGMA’s global summit calendar, with the first stop in Dubai on 09th February at the Trump International Golf Club. Each stop offers a carefully curated golf experience designed to connect senior decision-makers in a setting that prioritises time, authenticity and meaningful interaction.
The Dubai edition
The SiGMA Golf Tour officially launches in Dubai on 09 February 2026 at Trump International Golf Club, marking a bold debut in a city synonymous with global business leadership. Dubai sets the benchmark for the tour, reflecting both the calibre of the participants and the premium yet relaxed nature of the experience.
Held alongside AIBC Eurasia, the Dubai tournament takes place on day zero of the conference, seamlessly extending the event experience beyond the venue. With 40 total tee times secured and a carefully structured schedule designed to maximise both play and interaction, the day unfolds as follows:
- Tournament Start: 10:00 AM

Redefining networking
The SiGMA Golf Tour is a strategic platform built on an understanding that today’s senior executives value environments that allow trust, dialogue and rapport to develop organically. Away from conference halls, the golf course creates space for conversations that flow naturally. Over several hours of shared play, barriers fall away, relationships deepen and partnerships begin to take shape without rigid agendas or formal introductions.
This philosophy has already proven its value through previous SiGMA golf side events. Participants consistently highlighted the quality and depth of connections formed outside traditional conference settings, often noting that some of their most productive conversations happened between tee shots rather than across boardroom tables. These experiences reinforced golf’s ability to strip away formality and foster genuine engagement. A principle that now sits at the core of the SiGMA Golf Tour and is being scaled across its global destinations.
A global tour with local impact
Following Dubai, the SiGMA Golf Tour will continue across key international markets:
- Cape Town – March
- Sao Paulo – April
- Manila – June
- Mexico City – September
- Rome – November
- Bangkok – November/December
Each stop will be tailored to its host city while maintaining the same focus on executive-level connection, competitive play and premium experience.
As SiGMA continues to evolve how industries connect, the Golf Tour represents a natural next step, a long-term commitment to creating spaces where strategy meets sport and business. Register your interest for the SiGMA Golf Tour now!
