Leisure-net launches theme for active-net 2018

Places at active-net 2018 are already filling up following the roaring success of the 2017 event in March, which saw 95% of delegates say they’d like to attend next year.

The educational theme for active-net 2018, which will take place on 14 - 15 March at Eastwood Hall in Nottingham, will be data and the use of technology across the active leisure sector, including aspects such as benchmarking performance against national trend data, facial recognition security systems and blended lifeguarding, where traditional methods of pool supervision are combined with technology-driven drowning detection and prevention.

Now approaching its fifth year, active-net brings together leading operators and suppliers for business-focused, pre-selected meetings, together with informative educational slots, networking lunches and an evening meal. Delegates at active-net 2017 gave it the biggest thumbs up in its history, scoring the event an impressive 90% Net Promoter Score (NPS) - surpassing even Apple’s NPS score of 62.4%.

New to active-net 2017, Timothy Stack, Business Development Executive at activeNewham said: “I enjoyed the whole event, from the meetings to the keynote speech and after dinner speaker. As a new face in the industry, the chance to network with so many sector experts provided invaluable insight.”

New organisations already booked for active-net 2018 include East Staffordshire Borough Council, Fusion and University of Hull.
