Our Story
Founded in 2024, Summitly was born from a simple frustration: great events were hard to find and even harder to keep track of. We saw brilliant communities, organisers, and brands doing meaningful work — yet the discovery and planning experience was scattered across platforms.
Andy Marston (Sports Pundit) and James Haigh (Dataworks) came together to fix this problem. With backgrounds in product, design, and growth, they shared a vision for a better way to connect people with the events they care about.
So we’re building the most effortless way to discover, plan, and share events in the sports industry. One home for events, built for people first.
Our Mission
The sports industry runs on relationships, and relationships are built at events. Yet finding the right conference, meetup, or networking opportunity has always been harder than it should be. Information is fragmented across social feeds, email lists, and word of mouth — which means professionals miss events that could shape their careers, and organisers struggle to reach the right audience.
Summitly exists to solve this. Our mission is to become the single, trusted destination where sports industry professionals discover every event that matters — from flagship conferences like Leaders in Sport and SportsPro Live to intimate community meetups and fringe socials. We believe everyone in sport deserves equal access to the networking opportunities that drive the industry forward.
Why Summitly?
There is no shortage of event listing platforms, but none are built specifically for the sports business. Generic platforms bury sports events under thousands of unrelated listings. Summitly is the curated, industry-specific alternative — every event on our platform is relevant to people who work in sport. Here is what makes Summitly different:
- Curated for sport — Every event is hand-reviewed to ensure it is relevant to sports industry professionals.
- Community-powered — Follow the communities and organisers you care about and their events come to you automatically.
- Calendar sync — Add any event to your personal calendar in one click. No sign-up friction, no complicated booking flows.
- Global scope, local depth — We cover events in cities around the world, from major international summits to smaller city-based meetups.
- Built for organisers too — List your event in minutes and reach an engaged audience of sports professionals who are actively looking for events to attend.
