BIGGA Elevates brings together women from across the golf and turf industry to connect, support and inspire. Created to foster a welcoming and inclusive community, the initiative provides opportunities for women working in the profession to share experiences, build confidence and develop meaningful professional relationships.
Following a successful launch at BTME 2026, which featured a panel session with inspiring speakers, including Jackie Davidson, Director Golf Education at The R&A, TV presenter Sarah Stirk, and greenkeeper, Wendy O'Brien who shared her personal journey in the industry, BIGGA Elevates will return to BTME in January 2027. This informal session offers an opportunity to meet fellow professionals, expand your network and hear from accomplished women as they share their career journeys, lessons learned and perspectives on building a successful career in the industry.
Lauren Frazer, Commercial Director at BIGGA, said:
"We want BIGGA Elevates to be more than just an event it's about creating a community. We hope it brings women together to share experiences, learn from each other, and access resources and guidance.
Working in this industry can be daunting at times, and this initiative is about giving women a platform to relate, connect and gain confidence."
BIGGA Elevates Women's Network
To keep those conversations and connections going throughout the year, BIGGA has launched the BIGGA Elevates Women's Network, facilitated by Miriam Mooney.
Running monthly until BTME 2027, these informal online sessions provide a supportive space for women across golf and turf to connect, share experiences, discuss industry topics and learn from one another. Whether you're new to the profession or established in your career, the network offers an opportunity to build connections and be part of a growing community of women working across the industry.
