Jonas Renews and Elevates Partnership with the CMAE

The Club Management Association of Europe (CMAE) is proud to announce the renewal and expansion of its long-standing partnership with Jonas Club Software, the most trusted name in club management technology.

For over 30 years, Jonas Club Software has supported more than 2,400 private clubs across 20+ countries, delivering the industry’s most integrated and most trusted club management solutions. This renewed agreement marks another important milestone for both organizations and reaffirms Jonas Club Software’s enduring commitment to advancing education, leadership, and excellence throughout the club management profession.

As part of the expanded partnership, Jonas Club Software will once again serve as headline sponsor for the CMAE’s 2026 European Conference, set against the iconic backdrop of St Andrews, Scotland. The agreement also deepens Jonas Club Software’s investment in CMAE’s educational programs, ensuring club managers across Europe continue to receive help from world-class professional development and learning opportunities.

“Our long-standing partnership and journey with CMAE continues,” said Jonathan Coates, Head of Operations at Jonas Club Software. “We are proud to commit to and align with CMAE and all its members through the club management education pathway once again. The 2026 conference in St Andrews promises to be the most impactful European gathering of club managers we have seen in years. We look forward to seeing everyone there and sharing in the incredible learning and networking opportunities a conference like this provides.”

This announcement follows the success of Jonas Software’s sponsorship of MDP/BMI International 2025 in New York, where Jonas played a key role in delivering value to CMAE members and delegates from around the world.

“Jonas Software has been a trusted partner of CMAE for many years, and their continued investment in our mission speaks volumes,” said Craig Cotterill, CMAE’s Commercial Director. “As we approach our 25th anniversary, it is incredibly meaningful to have Jonas Club Software reaffirm their support — not just for our flagship events, but for the ongoing professional development of club managers across Europe. This partnership is built on shared values, mutual respect, and a vision for a thriving, well-supported industry.”

For Jonas Club Software, this renewal reflects its ongoing commitment to innovation, collaboration, and supporting the global community of clubs that rely on its technology every day. Together, CMAE and Jonas Club Software are united in a shared purpose: to elevate the profession of club management and strengthen the future of the private club industry — in Europe and around the world.
