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.

The combined knowledge and experience of Niall and his business partner, Doug Green, enables Club

Inc. to deliver unmatched experience and knowledge within the golf industry, providing individuals

and organisations with the opportunities and resources they need to succeed.

professionals. We are delighted to be hosting the summit in Belfast this year and look forward to

enjoying the cities amazing facilities and wonderful friendly service” Niall Flanagan, CEO, Club Inc.
