Saturday February 23 saw us welcome over 100 Sports Trainers at our annual FAST Conference.
With over 100 attendees, and 9 trade displays this was another incredibly successful conference held at the beautiful Adelaide Oval. A huge thank you goes out to all our dedicated Sports Trainers who attended.
The morning presentation was a Panel Discussion based on Liability issues in sport: What are the issues and how to protect yourself? And of course, a concussion up-date. The panel was run by Professor Jack Anderson from Melbourne Law School and Dr Andrew MacDonald from Wakefield Sports Clinic. It was a great start to the day!
We had a great array of Trade Displays this year and it was great to see our attendees enjoying themselves at the Trade Tables! A big thankyou to Medipro, Wakefield Sports Clinic, IDM Sports, St Johns First Aid, DJO Global, Stat packs, Human Kinetics and Safe Guard Insurance for being involved this year and presenting such great displays for our delegates.
