JOIN US FOR AN UNFORGETABLE EXPERIENCE
As the first event of its kind, Kit Shed unites Kit & Equipment Managers from around the globe, offering unparalleled networking opportunities, insightful talks from industry leaders, and an exhibition showcasing the latest and greatest equipment. Following the overwhelming success of our first two events in 2024 and 2025, Kit Shed is returning for 2026 on May 6th and that will be held at the iconic St. George's Park. The event will feature exciting new additions that promise to make it even more unforgettable.
what to expect
NETWORKING
With attendees from around the world, this is your chance to chat, catch-up, and connect with others in the industry in a relaxed setting, complete with food and refreshments.
INDUSTRY TALKS
Gain valuable insights from industry leaders through engaging talks. Past speakers have included Pat Frost (England), Dave Gibson (Scotland), Charles Raycroft (Orlando City), Lucy Barnes (West Ham United Women), and many more.
FORZA SHOWCASE
Discover and test a wide range of FORZA equipment, featuring everything from innovative new products to revamped classics.
WHAT WAS NEW FOR 2025
We're committed to keeping Kit Shed a free event, ensuring that Kit & Equipment Managers at all levels, leagues, and nations can attend without barriers. However, building on the success of 2024, we wanted to build and enhance the experience based on your feedback, we introduced some exciting new elements that required a paid ticket. This was completely optional - with guests still able to enjoy the core event at no cost. We will be announcing exciting new elements for 2026 soon.
EXTENDED EVENT
To allow you more time to connect with fellow Kit & Equipment managers, we provided guests with the option to carry on their experience into the evening, providing more flexibility.
AWARDS EVENING
We took the celebration of Kit & Equipment Managers to the next level by introducing an awards evening, complete with nominations and a dedicated judging panel.
STAR GUEST
This year, we were thrilled to welcome a England U21 Manager, Lee Carsley to the event. Lee shared his insights in the game and presented the awards.
Here is the agenda for 2026 on the 6th of May 2026! Starting at 10am, we will welcome guests to The Hilton Hotel at St. George's Park. From 11am onward, guests will enjoy a series of insightful talks from industry leaders, along with dedicated time to engage with on-site vendors—an exciting new feature for last year’s event. Lunch will be provided, with the day concluding with the highly anticipated FORZA showcase.
For those opting to extend their experience into the evening, the programme will resume at 6:30pm, with a delicious three-course meal and the Kit Shed Awards. Our star guest for the day, will be revealed soon. The evening ticket includes an overnight stay at The Hilton Hotel, with breakfast served the next morning.
