Announcing Our Strategic Partners for the TLE Conference 2026
The TLE Conference, organised by The Leisure Experts, brings together leaders from across the leisure, aquatics, sport and community wellbeing sectors to explore the future of the industry and the role leisure facilities play in supporting healthier communities.
At TLE, we have always believed that the strength of our industry lies in the people and organisations willing to work together to move it forward. That belief sits at the heart of the conference.
Unlike many industry events, we don’t approach partnerships as a traditional exhibition opportunity. For us, it’s about bringing together industry friends, collaborators and organisations we genuinely trust — people who share the values behind what we are building through TLE.
Some of the organisations joining us will showcase their products and services. Others simply want to be in the room, connecting with leisure operators, aquatic leaders, facility managers and sector innovators while contributing to the conversations shaping the future of the industry.
What matters most is alignment.
The organisations supporting this year’s conference believe, like we do, that there is a better future for leisure, aquatics and community wellbeing.
A future that is more collaborative.
More innovative.
More inclusive.
And more willing to challenge the way things have always been done.
We are incredibly pleased to announce the organisations joining us this year.
Their work goes far beyond architecture. It’s about creating places where people can connect, move and thrive.
Their thinking aligns closely with the conversations we’re bringing together at this year’s conference around the future of leisure facilities, aquatic environments and community wellbeing.
