26TH ANNUAL GOLF EVENT

MPI New Jersey's Signature Golf Event is back for a 26th year playing Wild Turkey at Crystal Springs Resort, on Tuesday, June 25, 2024.

For the past 26 years, our MPI New Jersey Golf Event has been a premier networking event that brings together those in the hospitality community and takes business out of the office and onto the golf course. You’ll walk away from the event with new contacts, reconnect with old friends, and maybe win a raffle prize or two. One thing we do know is you’ll walk away wanting to come back next year!

Not ready to play a full round of golf? No worries there, our MPI New Jersey Golf Event offers many opportunities to enjoy. Look into our Sponsorship opportunities or host a "Putt, Sip and Dine" foursome that includes a friendly mini-golf competition, lunch, wine tasting, and attendance at our closing reception.

Whether you’re interested in entertaining clients, showcasing your business, or networking with hospitality professionals, this event is one not to miss!

Date: June 25, 2024

Location: Crystal Springs Resort
