About Arizona Golf Classic

AGC (formerly MITA Golf) — Arizona’s Premier Cannabis Executive Golf Networking Event

The Arizona Golf Classic (AGC) didn’t start as “just another tournament.” It started as a simple, strategic idea: bring real cannabis decision-makers together in an environment where relationships actually form—on the course, over breakfast, and at the mixer.

If you’ve heard people call it MITA Golf, MITA Executive Golf Networking, or even the MITA Executive Invitational, they’re talking about the same origin story—an executive-first event that grew into the most recognized cannabis golf networking experience in Arizona.

From MITA Golf to AGC: The Origin Story

In December 2021, the Marijuana Industry Trade Association (MITA-AZ) launched the first tournament that became the foundation of AGC: the First Annual MITA Executive Charity Golf Tournament.

That first year set the blueprint that still defines AGC today:

• Cannabis executives (Arizona + national)

• High-value networking with real operators and owners

• A structured day built for connection: breakfast networking → shotgun start → mixer + awards

It wasn’t built for spectators. It was built for decision-makers.

And yes—Bianchi & Brandt helped power that early momentum as the title sponsor, helping bring the original MITA Golf tournament to life.

The Event That Became a Tradition: MITA Executive Golf Networking

By December 2022, MITA hosted the 2nd Annual Winter Charity Golf Tournament, reinforcing what everyone already felt after the first one:

MITA Executive Golf Networking wasn’t a one-off. It was becoming the event.

The room kept getting better. The conversations got sharper. And the outcomes became obvious: partnerships formed, deals moved forward, and relationships turned into real business.

That’s exactly why many leaders still refer to the event as the MITA Executive Invitational—because the feel is curated, high-level, and built around access to the right people.

The Evolution: AGC (formerly MITA Golf) Becomes Arizona’s “Don’t Miss” Cannabis Executive Invitational

As the tournament grew year over year, it evolved into what it is today:

Arizona Golf Classic (AGC) — formerly MITA Golf

AGC carries the same executive-first DNA from the original MITA Golf events, but with a bigger reach, bigger production, and a sharper focus on premium networking.

Today, AGC (formerly MITA Golf) is widely recognized as the go-to Cannabis Executive Golf Networking event in Arizona—drawing leaders from across the country.

We see it every year:

• CEOs & founders

• operators and owners

• investors

• executives from every market who want real face time with peers and decision-makers

Why AGC Works (When Most “Networking Events” Don’t)

Conferences are fine. Panels are fine. Networking mixers are… loud.

AGC is different because it forces what most networking events promise but rarely deliver:

Real time with real people.

Not 90-second intros. Not “let’s connect sometime.”
Hours together, naturally, throughout the round—with the right mix of structure and fun.

Here’s what makes AGC uniquely effective:

• More time per conversation (hours, not minutes)

• Relationship-building happens naturally across the course

• Sponsor activations feel like experiences, not advertisements

• The crowd is executive-level by design—true MITA Executive Invitational energy, upgraded

AGC Spring 2026: Our 8th Executive Tournament

The Arizona Golf Classic Spring 2026 will mark our 8th Cannabis Executive Networking tournament, continuing the legacy that began with MITA Golf and has grown into AGC.

If you’ve attended before, you already know: this is the one event where you leave with:

• new relationships

• real follow-ups

• and a calendar that suddenly fills with “quick calls” the next week

If You’re Looking for the One Cannabis Event You Don’t Skip…

This is it.

AGC (formerly MITA Golf) is built for executives who want:

• meaningful face time with decision-makers

• premium experiences that don’t feel corporate

• and relationships that actually move business forward

If you want to participate, sponsor, or bring a team—make your move early. This one fills.
