About this Event

Join us for a one-day, performance-focused Practitioners Summit, delivered in collaboration with the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA). This event brings together leading practitioners and applied researchers to explore how performance science is being translated into real-world sport settings.

Designed for strength & conditioning coaches, sport scientists, physical therapists, athletic trainers, and performance practitioners, the summit will explore evidence-informed strategies that enhance performance, guide return-to-performance decision-making, and integrate technology into applied environments.

The day will conclude with a social event on Saturday evening, providing an opportunity to connect with peers and speakers in an informal setting.
