The conference season continues with ESSA Innovation & Practice forum
As winter is approaching fast, the conference season speeds up. Indeed, in the next 10 days we will be taking part in conferences in Tasmania and South Australia.
The first one, Exercise & Sports Science Australia (ESSA) Innovation & Practice Forum will be held 24-25 May 2025 at Hotel Grand Chancellor Hobart.
This forum unites leading experts and dedicated professionals from across the exercise and sports science industry. Attendees will benefit from interactive demonstration sessions and practical learning experiences directly applicable to the daily work of ESSA professionals.

This forum is an unmissable opportunity for anyone serious about advancing in the field!
