ACTIVE-NET PADEL

The first ever active-net Padel event will take place on 3 June, bringing together the leaders of the rapidly growing sector

The Radisson Blu Hotel at Stansted will host the inaugural active-net Padel event on 3 June. The one-day networking and education experience is designed to support the growth of the sector, bringing insight and opportunity to existing and new to market operators.

Connecting people

Designed to connect leisure operators, universities, private fitness providers and padel court operators with industry-leading suppliers, the event promises meaningful dialogue, expert insight and real opportunities for growth. Suppliers on the day will range from court manufacturers and franchise providers to marketing experts, health and safety specialists and service engineers, all offering a full spectrum of support for anyone considering an investment in padel.

Attendees can expect a packed schedule including educational seminars, twelve 1-to-1 meetings with relevant companies that they select, and dedicated networking slots. With 30 confirmed padel operators in attendance, this is a unique opportunity to connect with key decision-makers from across the leisure and fitness landscape.

The day will open with a Welcome Panel chaired by Mike Hill, Director of Active Insight, joined by Fabian David (Britain Padel Tour), Patrick Burge (Major Padel Club), and Gareth Evans (Padel Ventures).

Delegates can then choose between two expert-led panels. The first is titled “The Data Behind the Opportunity”, chaired by Julie Allen (Active Insight), with Ray Algar (Oxygen Consulting) and Jake Bennett (Padel Ventures). The second, “Making the Most of the Investment”, will be chaired by Mike Hill, with insights from Gareth Evans, Andy Baker (SwimSpa) and Miguel Dominguez (Major Padel Club).

David Monkhouse, Director of active-net, commented: “We’re delighted to see the high level of response and enthusiasm for our first active-net Padel event. Now with seven events in total across the active-net series, our mission has remained the same, connecting people through insight and creating memorable experiences is at the core of what we do, so bringing that same structure with a padel focus is very exciting.

“We are looking forward to bringing better connections across the sector and empowering operators to take their businesses to the next level.”
