From MITA Golf to
Arizona Golf Classic
In December 2021, the Marijuana Industry Trade Association (MITA-AZ) launched what would become the foundation of AGC: the First Annual MITA Executive Charity Golf Tournament.
That first event set the blueprint still defining AGC today — cannabis executives, high-value networking, and a structured day built for real connection. Not spectators. Decision-makers.
- ✓Cannabis executives from Arizona + national markets
- ✓CEOs, founders, operators, owners, and investors
- ✓Structured day: Bloody Mary bar to shotgun start to mixer and awards
- ✓Powered early on by title sponsor Bianchi and Brandt
AGC’s giving-back spirit continues today through its Community Impact mission — supporting veterans, seniors, and community partnerships across Arizona.
The AGC Journey:
MITA Golf to Executive Invitational
From a single idea — bring real cannabis decision-makers together on the course — to Arizona's most recognized cannabis executive golf tradition.
2021
The First MITA Golf Tournament
The Marijuana Industry Trade Association (MITA-AZ) hosts the 1st Annual MITA Executive Charity Golf Tournament — the event that started it all. Title sponsor Bianchi and Brandt powered the debut. The blueprint was set: cannabis executives, curated networking, charity.
2022
MITA Executive Golf Networking Becomes a Tradition
The 2nd Annual MITA Winter Charity Golf Tournament proves this isn't a one-off. MITA Executive Golf Networking earns its reputation — partnerships form, deals move forward, and the crowd keeps getting better.
to 24
The MITA Executive Invitational Era
The event evolves into a full MITA Executive Invitational experience — curated, high-level, and built around access to the right people. The room gets sharper. The conversations get more productive. National executives start making the trip.
to 26
Arizona Golf Classic — Bigger Production, Same Executive DNA
AGC carries the full legacy of MITA Golf into a bigger, premium production — 27 fully activated holes, expanded sponsorship activations, and the same executive-first crowd. The 2026 Executive Invitational is our 8th tournament. May 19 at Westin Kierland, Scottsdale.
When Most Networking Events Don't.
Conferences are fine. Panels are fine. Networking mixers are loud. AGC delivers what others only promise — real time with real people.
Hours, Not Minutes
Four hours on the course means four hours of real conversation. No 90-second intros. No lets connect sometime. Deep, natural relationship building across every hole.
Curated, Not General Admission
This is not a public tournament. Every attendee is a cannabis executive, operator, founder, or investor. The room is right — by design. No noise, all signal.
Premium Cannabis Industry Crowd
CEOs, COOs, owners, and investors from Arizona and beyond. If you want face time with the people who run Arizona cannabis — AGC is the room.
Relationships That Move Business
Attendees leave with new partnerships, real follow-ups, and calendars that suddenly fill with quick calls the next week. This isn't networking theatre.
27 Activated Holes
Sponsor activations feel like experiences, not ads. From signature delivery carts to on-course pop-ups — every hole is a moment. Every moment is a memory.
Built for Charity
Every registration supports Arizona charitable causes. AGC is built to raise meaningful dollars — while giving the cannabis industry a day that actually feels worth showing up for.

Frequently Asked Questions
Arizona Golf Classic (AGC) is Arizona's premier cannabis executive golf networking event — built for CEOs, founders, owners, operators, and investors to build real relationships on the course. Founded in December 2021, AGC has hosted 8 tournaments and continues to be the most recognized cannabis executive golf event in Arizona.
Yes. AGC (formerly MITA Golf) evolved directly from the early MITA-led tournaments that started in December 2021 under the Marijuana Industry Trade Association (MITA-AZ). AGC retains the same executive-first DNA, the same curated crowd, and the same focus on high-value cannabis industry networking — with a bigger production and premium experience.
MITA Executive Golf Networking describes the executive-focused networking style the tournament became known for through the MITA era — curated face time with decision-makers through a structured golf day and premium networking moments. That same philosophy drives AGC today.
The MITA Executive Invitational refers to the invitation-style, executive-level atmosphere that began with MITA Golf and continues with AGC — focused on access to real decision-makers and meaningful conversations rather than general attendance. Many longtime attendees still refer to the AGC event as the MITA Executive Invitational because of this shared legacy.
AGC draws cannabis industry leaders from Arizona and nationwide — CEOs, founders, owners, operators, investors, and C-suite executives. The event is curated by design. You won't find a random public draw here. Every attendee is there because they belong in the room.
The 2026 Arizona Golf Classic Executive Invitational is on Tuesday, May 19, 2026 at Westin Kierland Golf Club, 15636 N Clubgate Dr, Scottsdale, AZ 85254. Format: 4-Man Scramble across 27 fully activated holes. The Happiest of Happy Hours mixer is the night before — Monday, May 18, 2026.
AGC creates real face time — hours with peers and decision-makers — through the natural flow of a golf round rather than quick introductions or rushed panels. The format encourages deeper connection, stronger trust, and more productive follow-ups than standard conference-style networking. Attendees leave with new relationships that actually move business forward.
