The Club Management Association of Europe (CMAE) has released its Business Management Institute (BMI) programme schedule and location lineup for 2027. The upcoming calendar features three primary educational events across Europe and the Middle East designed to enhance leadership skills, operational knowledge, and management strategies for club professionals.
The 2027 calendar opens with the return of CMAE's BMI education week in Abu Dhabi, held at the W Abu Dhabi from May 17 to May 21, 2027.
The organization will host three courses concurrently during the May session:
Following the Middle East event, CMAE will bring BMI 2 – Leading & Managing the Club Team to the In & Out Club in London from August 16 to August 20, 2027.
The curriculum focuses on the leadership and people-management skills required to build, motivate, and develop successful club teams, providing managers with practical tools to lead effectively and maximize workforce potential.
CMAE will conclude the announced series by staging BMI 1 – Club Operations at the Hilton Hotel in Liverpool from September 13 to September 17, 2027.
Addressing the choice of location, CMAE stated: "Liverpool worked so well for us this year it makes perfect sense to return again in 2027."
The BMI 1 course offers delegates an overview of core operational disciplines, delivering the practical understanding required to supervise daily operations within a club environment.
Course details, course outlines, and registration forms are accessible on the CMAE portal at https://www.cmaeurope.org/mdp-courses/.
