About the event

Boardwave x Blackstone Padel Tournament

Padel is rapidly becoming one of the world’s fastest-growing sports, played by over 25 million people worldwide. Boardwave is excited to try something a little different and bring together senior technology leaders for an evening of sport, conversation and connection.

Join us for our first-ever Boardwave x Blackstone Padel Tournament, an exclusive, social evening of friendly competition at Rocket Padel, Battersea. Whether you’re a seasoned player or new to the game, the event is designed to be inclusive, high-energy and fun.

The evening features a social padel tournament tailored for all skill levels, whether you are a regular player or completely new to the game. The tournament is designed to be inclusive and high-energy, providing a unique alternative to traditional networking.

Following the action on the court, the event transitions into a relaxed social session featuring:

  • Networking with industry peers and tech leaders.
  • Wood-fired pizza and drinks.
  • Charity Support: Voluntary donations will be collected on the night for Cure Parkinson’s, Boardwave's impact partner.

This is an opportunity to connect with senior tech leaders in a high-energy setting, offering the perfect blend of friendly competition on the court and relaxed, meaningful conversation over food and drinks - all while supporting the impactful work of Cure Parkinson’s.
