Not Another Golf Day: Why the ADIA Networking Event Is Exactly What the Industry Needs

When people think of industry networking events, they often picture golf courses, polos, and polite applause for a decent swing. And while there’s nothing wrong with a good round of golf, it’s not everyone’s idea of a productive or inclusive afternoon.

That’s why the Automatic Door Installation Association (ADIA) is doing things differently this year.

On 18th September 2025, we’ll be hosting our annual Networking Event at Fairgame, Canary Wharf—a venue that combines interactive games, delicious food, and a relaxed, urban atmosphere perfect for real conversations.

We know that engineers, business owners, and office teams across the industry are looking for more than just polite small talk. They want genuine connections, real support, and practical partnerships that move their businesses forward. This event is designed with that in mind.

Who Is It For?

This isn’t just for managing directors or sales reps. It’s for:

  • Engineers who want to meet others on the tools

  • Admin teams keeping operations running smoothly

  • Business owners building strong supplier and peer relationships

  • Anyone in the door and access industry who prefers connection over competition

What Can You Expect?

  • A fun, relaxed atmosphere with a mix of skill-based games and social time

  • Opportunities to network and collaborate without the formalities

  • The chance to build relationships that could lead to work, support, or training

  • A break from the usual—and maybe even a new tradition

And most importantly, no golf clubs required.

Why It Matters

Our industry is built on trust, word-of-mouth, and mutual support. At ADIA, we believe events should reflect that. Whether you’re a new member or a seasoned pro, this networking event gives you a chance to reconnect, recharge, and represent your business in an environment that’s welcoming and fun.

So if you’re tired of the same old swing-and-chat routine, we invite you to try something a little different this September.

Let’s make networking enjoyable again.
