EIGHT WEEKS.
ONE IDEA.
ONE LIVE EVENT.
CLUBSCONNECT
SOUTH EAST 2026
THE IDEA
ClubsConnect was created to bring sports, social and community clubs together with the businesses, services and people that could help them.
In eight weeks, we went from concept to company, commercial proposition, exhibitors, partners, marketing and a live event at the Village Hotel Maidstone.
The idea became real.
THE IDEA WORKED.
ClubsConnect South East 2026 brought sports, social and community clubs together with businesses, charities, speakers and organisations that could help them.
Exhibitors demonstrated, spoke, collaborated and made connections. New relationships started in the room. Conversations continued afterwards.
But perhaps the strongest result was what happened next.
Exhibitors wanted to do it again. Venues offered to host us. Suppliers wanted to get involved. And ClubsConnect started becoming something bigger than a single event.
What a great day yesterday. This is my first email of the day and I wanted it to be sent to you guys.
Had a great day. Met some lovely like-minded people. Booked a meeting for Tuesday. Have 3 opportunities that have more than a 50% chance of business.
