ILMA Foundation Golf Tournament

Designed by Sir Nick Faldo, the Faldo Championship Course at Wildfire Golf Club offers a unique take on Arizona desert golf. Rather than a traditional target-style desert layout, Faldo drew inspiration from the famous Australian Sandbelt courses, creating a course with wide fairways, large greens, and strategic bunkering that rewards thoughtful shot-making. Registration includes greens fee, practice range, sleeve of golf balls, boxed hot breakfast, bottled water and two drink tickets per person.

Opening General Session with Keynote Speaker Suneel Gupta – The Game of Now: Leading, Deciding, and Taking Action in an Uncertain World

The pace of change has outgrown our ability to plan. So what if, instead of waiting for certainty to give you the courage to act, you took action and let courage catch up? In this timely keynote, Suneel Gupta reframes uncertainty as something to engage with, not eliminate, and shares how to move forward when the world no longer waits until you're ready. You'll leave steadier, more capable, and equipped with practical ways to take your next meaningful step, even without perfect information.
