COMMUNITY New year, new potential, new initiatives So here we are with another year almost finished and another holiday season upon us. It’s good to reflect on the year gone by, but even better to look to the one ahead and prepare for one of the busiest periods for the fitness industry. At Network HQ it’s also the time to start gearing up for the industry’s pinnacle event, namely FILEX. Enclosed with this edition of Network magazine you’ll find your FILEX 2016 brochure outlining the amazing sessions, presenters, social events, pre-convention offerings and much more. This coming year’s FILEX is our third to be held in the Victorian capital, and includes some amazing new features which we have developed based on our members’ and delegates’ feedback. We’re extremely excited to announce the inaugural Women of Influence Lunch to be held on Saturday 30 April at a stunning venue on the banks of the Yarra. Presenting an opportunity to hear inspirational stories, connect with your peers and learn valuable strategies to help you realise your potential in the fitness industry, this unique event seeks to highlight women in our industry who have challenged the status quo and encouraged other women to do the same. For the first time ever in Australia, we’re proud to present Meeting of the Minds (in place of the PT Summit) – a collaboration of the world’s leading fitness thinkers and innovators. A full day comprising a series of nine succinct presentations, a catered networking lunch and a detailed QandA with the full presenter faculty, this will be a unique, challenging and thought-provoking experience. If you’re truly passionate about all things PT, this is not to be missed! By popular demand, and for the first time ever, we have introduced the ability to pay for your FILEX registration in instalments. To help FILEX registration fit in with your cash flow needs, you can now take care of your chosen package in weekly or fortnightly instalments. The instalments will be larger the closer you register to the event, so the sooner you register the better. For more information on all of these new features – and the rest of the FILEX program – check out your enclosed brochure or visit filex.com.au I’d like to take this chance to wish you a very happy holiday season and look forward to connecting with as many of you as possible in 2016. Until next time, Ryan Hogan, CEO [email protected] 28 | NETWORK SUMMER 2015
