2008 NSCA-OATA Human Performance Symposium
Anyone planning on going to this?
It's through the Ontario chapter of the NSCA, and the Ontario Athletic Therapist Association, but I figured someone from outside Ontario might be coming in for it. Either that or I might find another Canadian on the forum. Both good things.
The conference is actually being held at my college, so I really lucked out here. I've waited three years (since I learned of the JP fitness summit, and realized that these events exist) to go to a conference and now one falls in my lap. How great is that!
It should be a really great weekend.
