British and International Golf Greenkeepers Association (BIGGA) is delighted to return to GroundsFest 2026, where visitors will have the opportunity to meet the team behind Europe’s leading greenkeepers association on stand 25.
Since 1987, BIGGA has been at the forefront of supporting greenkeepers through professional development, education, networking opportunities and industry advocacy. Today, the association represents a thriving community of more than 6,000 members across the UK, Europe and beyond.
Over the past year alone, BIGGA has launched two new educational programmes, enhanced its exclusive member benefits package, taken over the management of the prestigious Golf Environment Awards, and delivered the largest BTME (BIGGA Turf Management Exhibition) in the event’s history.
Visitors to the stand can learn how BIGGA supports greenkeepers at every stage of their careers, helping to raise the profile and credibility of the profession while providing access to valuable resources, training opportunities, wellbeing support and exclusive discounts on a wide range of products and services. Benefits available to members range from free Mental Health First Aid training to exclusive career development opportunities across the UK and internationally.
As part of its partnership with GroundsFest, BIGGA will also host a programme of educational seminars across both show days. Covering topics such as emerging technologies, turf health, leadership, and water management, the sessions are designed to provide practical insights for attendees from across the grounds management and sports turf sectors.
Visitors to Stand 25 can learn more about BIGGA membership, BTME and Continue to Learn, and the Golf Environment Awards. Whether you’re already a member or interested in finding out how BIGGA can support your career, the team looks forward to welcoming you.
