On behalf of the ASCA Board and staff it is my pleasure and privilege to invite you to participate in the 2015 ASCA International Conference on Applied Strength and Conditioning taking place at Jupiters Hotel and Casino, Gold Coast from Friday 6 – Sunday 8 November.

The aim of the ASCA Conference is to assist professionals, both new and experienced, to develop their practice with the benefit of shared evidence based strategies and methods. The Conference gains prominence with every passing year and will be of interest to specialists in all disciplines of strength and conditioning whether you are a coach, physiotherapist, tactical operator or have an interest or are involved in any strength and conditioning-related field.

The Conference Program will broadly cover the latest developments in the field and will feature a variety of insightful keynote and lecture presentations, practical demonstrations and round table discussions led by a diverse range of local and international experts on strength and conditioning. These sessions, combined with the poster presentation displays, will provide new insights and will encourage an interactive and inspiring exchange between participants. Together with the comprehensive trade exhibition where the latest strength and conditioning products, services and technologies will be on show plus the many networking events, this program will make the 2015 ASCA Conference a highly innovative and informative event for all attendees.

The Gold Coast is famous for fun and will provide the backdrop to the 2015 Conference. I encourage and welcome you to take part in the event.
