Brian Smith is the Co-Founder and Chairman of Bigs Events, a Business Integrated Golf Society that brings together an exclusive, invitation-only community of business leaders. With monthly midweek games hosted at a rotating selection of top UAE golf clubs, Bigs Events offers a distinctive networking platform enhanced by prestigious prizes, made possible by exceptional sponsors and media partners.
Launched in April 2024, Bigs Events has quickly attracted over 120 vetted members, including leaders, entrepreneurs, and business owners, forming a close-knit ecosystem for professional growth. True to their motto, “It’s not what you know; it’s who you play golf with,” Bigs Events is crafted as a trusted business network, uniting professionals from various sectors and industries across regions.
Members of Bigs Events include executives from multinational corporations, entrepreneurs, small business owners, industry specialists, and investors. The society’s unique approach is particularly beneficial for startups and investors, supporting all stages from pre-seed funding to IPO. By strategically pairing members on the course, Bigs Events fosters meaningful, one-on-one connections in a relaxed environment, providing valuable opportunities to discuss business over several hours.

The upcoming events are set to impress, with the next gathering scheduled for November 27th at Trump International Golf Club Dubai, featuring exciting prizes, special guests, and podcast giveaways. The year will close with a festive Christmas competition on December 12th at the scenic Dubai Creek Golf Club.
