Deadline to submit a completed presentation proposal is October 21, 2011 5pm EST. Presenters will be notified of acceptance by November 14, 2011. Click Here to Submit a Presentation
When submitting a presentation proposal keep in mind that several tracks are offered to help guide attendees in choosing the sessions most appropriate to feed their needs. Such tracks being offered are group exercise, personal training, wellness, and a professional track. The professional track is being added this year to offer insight to fitness professionals, both novice and advance, to incorporate ideas and allow networking to occur at the management level. It will also allow those interested in becoming a fitness professional to learn more about furthering their education and following their passion.
When developing your proposal make sure to work in the theme, Inventing the Future of Fitness and how you can incorporate sustainability, technology, and fitness tomorrow into your workout, lecture, or workshop. Think outside of the box. Sustainability is more than ensuring that the environment is preserved, but also our body future is protected. Our goal is to provide education that promotes fitness and wellness as a long-term lifestyle commitment and not a "quick-fix."
Whatever route you choose be creative, be inspiring, and most importantly be you. Show your true talents and submit a presentation proposal today!
