Health and Fitness Summit & Exposition

Overview

Image

ACSM's Health & Fitness Summit and Exposition was created in 1997 as a means to bridge the gap existing between the science of sports medicine and practice for the fitness professional, broadly defined.

The initial conference drew 700+ attendees, a modest exhibit hall, and a loyal following for this relatively new educational offering. Today the meeting has nearly doubled in size, and attracts an impressive group of attendees, faculty, and exhibitors. The meeting now includes additional features like workout sessions with master trainers, hands-on demonstrations, panel discussions, and more. The 2008 Summit will boast superior faculty, hand-chosen to address the most timely, and cutting edge issues
