Taking Mini Golf to a Conference in Las Vegas

Exhibit halls can be hard places to keep attendees’ attention. When the American Credit Union Mortgage Association (ACUMA) planned its annual conference in Las Vegas for September 20–22, 2026, they wanted something on the exhibit floor that would draw people in, keep them around the booths and give sponsors a way to stand out. They brought Putt Denver from Colorado to Nevada to make it happen.

Mini golf on the exhibit hall floor

We set up our course right on the conference carpet, surrounded by exhibitor booths, so attendees could play between sessions and visit sponsors along the way. A Putt Denver Associate stayed with the course to keep groups moving and explain the game.

Built-in sponsor visibility

The holes carried sponsor branding, so every round put partners’ names in front of attendees. Hole sponsors included Optimal Blue, myCUmortgage, Stewart and Floify. For conferences and fundraisers, sponsored holes are one of the easiest ways to add value for sponsors without adding another booth.

A little friendly competition

ACUMA tracked scores on a leaderboard throughout the conference, and the top players took home medals at the end. A scoreboard gives people a reason to come back for another round, and it gives organizers a fun moment to recognize winners.

Doing the paperwork

Las Vegas venues have strict fire safety requirements for anything on the exhibit floor. We worked with the ACUMA events team and the venue to get our equipment’s fire treatment documentation approved before load-in, so the course was ready to go on day one.

Bring it to your conference

Whether your event is in Denver, Colorado Springs or farther away, we can bring the course, the staff, the sponsor signs and the leaderboard.
