Introducing the Go-To Calendar for the Global Sports Industry 📆

A new platform designed to simplify life for busy sports executives has officially launched: Summitly, the conference and community calendar for the global sports industry.

Summitly makes it easier than ever to discover and plan for industry events, bringing together major conferences, curated communities, and fringe meetups, all in one convenient place.

Unlike traditional booking platforms, Summitly is a visibility and discovery layer, helping professionals find where to connect in real life without the hassle of spreadsheets, scattered invites, or missing out on important side events. From stadium-sized summits to intimate after-hours gatherings, Summitly ensures that no opportunity for connection slips through the cracks.

Key features at launch include:

  • Global Conference Aggregation – All major sports business conferences, discoverable in one place. You can filter by location, event type, organiser, and date.

  • Fringe & Community Meetups – Curated visibility of side events, after-parties, and niche gatherings that often define the real networking experience.

  • Community Discovery – A growing index of groups and networks shaping conversations across the sporting ecosystem.

  • Personalised Calendar Sync – Streamlined scheduling so executives can see everything that matters in one smart calendar.

Forget the internal Excel doc you keep meaning to update. With more features set to roll out over the year, Summitly is designed to evolve with the needs of sports professionals. Users can also suggest events or features, ensuring the platform grows with its community.

Summitly was co-created by James Haigh, Andy Marston, and Lee Radbourne, who first conceived the idea at an industry networking event, after experiencing first-hand the problems Summitly now seeks to solve.

“Networking is the lifeblood of the sports industry, but finding where and when to connect has always been fragmented,” said Lee Radbourne.

“Summitly fixes that by putting everything in one place, whether it’s the big-ticket conferences or the grassroots meetups that really make an impact.”

Summitly is now live and available for executives, founders, and industry leaders who want to get connected, IRL.
