The Conference begins at 4:30 PM Friday, May 29 at MNP Community & Sport Centre with an inspiring afternoon lineup, starting with Dr. Rosanne Woods as she explores Training and Performance for the Aging Athlete.

The evening wraps with a Keynote Address from Geoff Starling on Inclusivity in the Fitness Industry, including a light dinner from Fit Kitchen and the chance to connect with fellow attendees.
Saturday begins at the Fairmont Palliser at 8:00 AM with a Keynote Address from Josh Adams of Therabody exploring the importance of recovery, programming, and longevity and how these pillars can be used to create lasting impact in people’s lives.

The momentum continues with a standout lineup of presentations, including Rebecca Garland on Training the Midlife Woman, Daniel Salazar on Creating Meaningful IMPACT Beyond the Gym, and Fyonna Vanderwerf on navigating crisis as a coach when life shows up for your clients in unexpected ways.
The afternoon continues with Amy Puzey on The Missing Link in nutrition for runners and athletes, before closing with Kat Ostroumova, who will share strategies for moving from survival mode to purpose-driven success—from leadership and mindset to hormonal health and long-term performance.
