THE CLUB LEADERSHIP SUMMIT
The Club Leadership Summit is an annual industry event created to provide a unique opportunity for
golf club managers to network with their peers and learn from distinguished industry leaders from
across the world.
The prestigious 3-day conference combines first class business education with an iconic venue. Invited
delegates will benefit from an innovative and insight-driven event, away from their everyday work
environment.
The 2017 summit took place at Belfast’s Titanic Experience on 3rd, 4th and 5th of
December. The central theme of ‘Customer Is King’ was examined by a host of inspiring speakers
from a range of professional backgrounds, including sports, fashion, interior design and luxury.
As well as educating and inspiring, the summit provides delegates with the opportunity to network with
other managers from Europe’s leading clubs. It is a hugely motivating occasion with countless
opportunities to address the unique challenges faced by private clubs, as well as share effective
business solutions and strategies. In addition, funds are also raised for a chosen charity at a black tie
gala dinner and auction. This year the charity of choice is Sports Changes Life.
The summit is the brainchild of Niall Flanagan, founder of luxury club management service; Club Inc.
