Club Management Association of Europe

16/06/2026

Due to the incredible popularity of the European Conference on Club Management 2026, we’re pleased to announce that our Non-Accommodation Rate is now available for any delegates wishing to attend the conference, including those outside of Scotland.

This has been introduced to provide greater flexibility for attendees who may wish to arrange their own accommodation, while ensuring as many delegates as possible can still join us for this year’s conference.

Importantly, we are still accepting bookings with accommodation included, although availability is becoming increasingly limited.

Delegates can now choose between:
➡️ Conference package with accommodation included (subject to availability)
➡️ Non-Accommodation conference registration

With a strong lineup of speakers already announced and demand continuing to grow, we encourage delegates to secure their place as soon as possible.

As part of the exciting new partnership with the Association of Centenary Tennis Clubs (CTC), CMAE delivered a “Leadership Mindset” session for their members.

The session began with CMAE CEO Torbjörn “Toby” Johansson introducing CMAE before welcoming Darshan Singh to lead an engaging discussion on leadership mindset.

It was fantastic to see managers from multiple countries come together and experience the high-quality educational content that CMAE provides.

A special thank you to CTC President Cambra and Secretary Berta Tintoré for their support in making this initiative possible.

We look forward to building a long and successful partnership with CTC and continuing to support the development of club leaders around the world.
