A Night to Remember: 25 Years celebrating CMAE! 🎉

Tuesday evening was a special occasion as delegates came together at the magnificent Old Course Hotel in St Andrews for our 25th Anniversary Gala Dinner, celebrating 25 years of the CMAE.

The evening began in true Scottish style, with delegates bagpiped into the dinner before taking their seats for a memorable night of great food, fine wh**ky and plenty of laughter.

Guests heard from the Old Course Hotel’s chef, who introduced the evening’s menu, followed by a special insight from Bladnoch Distillery into the wh**ky paired with dessert.

The European Club Education Foundation (ECEF) raffle added another special element to the evening, bringing delegates together to support the foundation’s work investing in the future of club management.

And, of course, there were plenty of laughs thanks to David Roy CCM, whose entertaining speech brought smiles around the room

A special thanks to Consultiv Utilities for sponsoring the gala dinner and helping making it a special occasion

A huge thank you to everyone who helped make the evening so memorable. Here’s to 25 years of learning, leadership and family - and many more to come!

Today, we say goodbye to St Andrews after an incredible few days spent with our CMAE family at the Home of Golf.

It’s been wonderful to welcome back so many familiar faces, while also welcoming those attending the European Conference for the very first time. Bringing our family together to share knowledge, exchange ideas and build lasting relationships is what makes these events so special.

From our world-class speaker programme, which has already received fantastic feedback, to the inspiring conversations, invaluable networking opportunities and the outstanding five-star surroundings of the Old Course Hotel, this has been a conference to remember.

A huge thank you to everyone who helped make the 2026 European Conference such a success - our delegates, speakers, partners, sponsors, and everyone working behind the scenes. Your support, enthusiasm and passion for our industry are what make the CMAE Family so special 💙💛

⛳️ An inspiring week in the home of golf – St Andrews, Scotland

Our WisePlatform Golf COO Mika Nieminen spent an inspiring week in Scotland, attending the MDP Golf Management Program in St Andrews, the home of golf.

The program offered valuable insights from inspiring speakers and the opportunity to visit some truly iconic venues, including Gleneagles, Kingsbarns, and the R&A Clubhouse.

The real highlight of the MDP week, however, is always the people – connecting with like-minded club managers, sharing experiences, and exchanging ideas that help everyone grow professionally.

For WiseNetwork, international collaboration like this is invaluable. Learning from others, gaining new perspectives, and building networks all help us enhance the WisePlatform system and better serve both our current and future customers — as we continue to strengthen our connections across Europe.

A big thank you to the Club Management Association of Europe (CMAE) and Michael McCormack CCM for hosting an exceptionally well-organized and inspiring week of learning and networking. 🙌
