Spring AGM and Education Conference

2026 Spring AGM & Education Conference

The PGA of Canada Atlantic Zone was proud to host a highly successful Spring AGM & Education Conference at the The Westin Nova Scotian, bringing together members from across the atlantic for a valuable few days of learning, connection, and professional development.

We were thrilled to see such a strong turnout, highlighting the continued commitment of our members to growth and excellence within the golf industry.

This year’s conference featured an outstanding lineup of guest speakers, including Lesley Hawkins, Gareth Raflewski, Dr. Simon Taylor, John Woodrow, Jonathan Garron, and Eric Tobin. Together, they delivered engaging sessions covering a wide range of topics—from avoiding burnout and navigating golf course crisis management to coaching elite short games and enhancing overall performance.

From mental performance and coaching strategies to operational leadership and personal well-being, the conference offered something for everyone. Attendees left with actionable tools, fresh perspectives, and renewed motivation heading into the season.

A sincere thank you to all of our speakers for sharing their time and expertise,  and to our sponsors, Titleist Training Academy and JD Shore Spirits for their generous support in making this event such a success.
