The "Everything Fitness Conferences" Thread
Hi everyone
Fitness conferences are always a popular activity among Vfers. They generally offer classes and seminars led by leading instructors in the field, and most have a trade show component as well where attendees and members of the public can shop for great fitness gear. They are also a popular incentive behind many VF Get-Togethers---Toronto-area and beyond Vfers have been congregating for Canfitpro for years, as have DC-area Vfers for DCAC and Dallas-area Vfers for Midwest Mania. Herewith, then---a hopefully comprehensive compendium of where and when these wonderful events are held, and a list of instructor locations for some of the popular VF favs so that get-togethers might be arranged around their live class offerings. Please reply to this thread with any additions and I will update this top post so that it is as complete as possible. Conferences and trade shows: Event: Canfitpro Conference and Trade Show Location: Toronto, Montreal, other Web link: www.canfitpro.com Event: Sara’s City Location: Various Web link: www.saracity.com Event: Idea Location: Various Web link: www.ideafit.com Event: DCAC Location: DC area Web link: www.dcacinc.com Event: AAI/ISMA “One World” Location: Various Web link: www.aaai-ismafitness.com Event: ECA World Location: Various Web link: www.ecaworldfitness.com Event: CIA Conference Location: Philadelphia Web link: http://www.ciavideo.com/seminar.html Instructor locations: Helen Vanderberg: Calgary Brooke Siler: NYC Cyndi Lee (Om Yoga): NYC Jonathan Urla: NYC Lotte Berk: NYC Kari Anderson: Seattle Moira Stott: Toronto Sharon Mann: Toronto Eion Finn: Vancouver Joanna |

Thanks, Joni. Those two links cover a lot of the conferences VFers go to. Off-hand, I can think of get-togethers that have been organized around Dallad Mania, Midwest Mania, Canfitpro Toronto and Canfitpro Montreal.
Another event to consider is Self magazine's annual Workout in the Park. I think they have them in New York and Chicago, but there could be others. Chech Self Magazine for details. I also know that several Vfers have organized VF events around instructors who have studios near them. So if you are looking to organize a VF event, that might be something to consider.

Sophie's post reminded me of Helen Vanderburg. Isn't she also located in Calgary?
And a few more: Kari Anderson is in Seattle. Franny Benedetto is in Boston. Patrick G. is in Chicago.

Thanks for the corrections :-) I have edited my original post. I know Christi had moved but I got the directions crossed and somehow thought she had moved FROM Arizona :-)
Hey, NYCers, how'd you get so lucky? Just because your city is massive huge, you get all the fun things :-) Joanna |
