CMAE European Conference

CMAE European Conference hailed a success

The 2022 European Conference on Club Management took place on 5-8 November in the sunny climes of Costa Adeje in Tenerife. And the feedback proves it was yet another success for all involved.

In November 2022 we met on beautiful Tenerife, Costa Adeje for a few days with presentations and activities to do more of a full conference. The weather did what it was promised and delivered sunny and warm days which meant that a lot of delegates too the opportunity to go for a swim or even go whale watching.

Playing padel turned out to be the most popular activity and when you weren ’t playing your networking started. Country vs country turned out to be the most competitive as well as getting the most feeling out in the open.

We will not go into who won or not, but a few people left the activity happier than some.

For the golf we were happy to see a participant all the way from Pakistan, being supported by the >

colleagues to not worry for any misses that potentially could have taken place. (which it didn ’t of course)

As always when people from across the countries meet, evenings are extremely important and also this time. When going to a Spanish territory, timings for evening meals are different to us that live up north.

Worth remembering and also embrace the opportunity.

Conference had a theme this year – Family –which is a term for being a part of CMAE, being a part of a club, being a part of a community where we can share difficulties and triumphs.

We were lucky to have presenters from many different countries and with many different presentation styles.

When all delegates rated the speakers, we did get a clear picture. Jeffrey Kreafle, CEO at Congressional CountryClubwastopscorerinallcategories,besides overall value where “Heart in the Boardroom ” with Monique Landmann scored highest.

Final event we spent together at the La Calabacera, the Banana Plantation which will be a memorable event for everyone attending. In the middle of all banana plants, a long table was put and great food was served.

It was great to have spent two years doing the conference online, but even better to meet in person.
