Member Memos
Why should you join Leaders Club? We asked members what attracted them to The Club, and why they wanted to join.
What makes the Leaders Club particularly compelling is its global reach and diverse community, with a strong presence across both Europe and North America. This international scope offers a unique opportunity to connect with professionals from across the sports ecosystem who are tackling challenges and driving innovation in different markets.
I recently had the opportunity to attend the latest session in London and left feeling genuinely inspired—the variety of panel speakers and topics provided an insightful afternoon.
Being in a room full of people who are aligned on the power of sport is one of the core reasons I want to join Leaders Club.
I am eager to join the Leaders Club to engage with like-minded professionals who share a commitment to innovation and excellence in the sports industry. Networking with and learning from fellow leaders across diverse disciplines will enrich my perspective, both personally and professionally. I view this as an unparalleled opportunity to exchange ideas, foster collaborations, and extend my sphere of influence within the global sports ecosystem.
