Revolutionizing Attendee Experience with Voice AI at NGCOA Golf Business Conference 2026

The Challenge: Information Overload in Orlando

The Golf Business Conference (GBC26) is the industry’s largest gathering of golf course owners and operators. With a jam-packed three-day schedule spanning the Rosen Centre Hotel, the Orange County Convention Center (OCCC), and the Reunion Resort & Golf Club, attendees were faced with a logistical mountain:

• Multiple Venues: Navigating between the host hotel and the PGA Show.

• Dynamic Agenda: Over 15 specialized educational tracks and "Masterminds" sessions.

• Logistics: Managing shuttle times, golf outing details, and travel discounts.

Traditional printed programs are easily lost, and mobile apps often require tedious navigation. NGCOA needed a frictionless way to provide instant, 24/7 support.

The Solution: The TalkRev x Courserev Voice Agent

In partnership with Courserev.ai, TalkRev deployed a dedicated AI-powered info line. This wasn't just a recording; it was a sophisticated Voice AI assistant designed to act as a personal concierge for every attendee.

Key Capabilities of the GBC26 Voice Agent:

• Instant Agenda Access: Provided real-time details on sessions, from the "State of the Industry" to the "Masterminds" pre-conference forum.

• Speaker Portfolios: Offered deep dives into speakers, including the ability to text LinkedIn links directly to the user’s phone.

• Multi-Channel Communication: If an attendee asked for directions or a specific room location, the AI would verbally explain it and then text the information to the user for easy reference.

• Logistical Support: Answered questions about the Yamaha Golf Outing shuttles, sponsor’s discount codes, and even the local Orlando weather.

The Impact: A "Hole-in-One" for Event Support

By leveraging TalkRev’s technology, handled expertly by the team at Courserev.ai, the conference achieved:

1. Zero Wait Times: Attendees received answers in seconds, even during peak registration hours.

2. Increased Engagement: By providing LinkedIn links and session details via SMS, the AI bridged the gap between a phone call and digital networking.

3. Reduced Staff Burden: The NGCOA team could focus on high-level hospitality while the Voice AI handled repetitive queries about room locations and registration passwords. 

Why it Worked

The success of the GBC26 info line proved that Voice AI is the future of event management. By combining the industry expertise of Courserev.ai with the cutting-edge technology of TalkRev, we provided a high-touch, "white-glove" experience that met owners and operators exactly where they were: on their mobile phones.
