Nearly 100 health and wellness experts are presenting at this year's Club Industry Show (Oct. 24-26, Hilton Chicago). Their sessions span nine pertinent conference tracks—marketing, programming, management and leadership, active training, personal training, trends and technology, wellness, retention and sales—that directly address your needs in successfully operating a fitness business in today's turbulent market.
Some of these tracks were developed by industry veterans, who serve as our track chairs. The chairs and the tracks they developed are: Casey Conrad, president of Communications Consultants (Marketing); Marisa Hoff, general manager of Stevenson Fitness (Programming); Bill McBride, CEO of Active Wellness and BMC3 Consulting (Leadership and Management); Dr. Kevin Steele, president of PTA Global and PTontheNet (Wellness); Chris Stevenson, owner of Stevenson Fitness (Retention); and Karen Woodard, president of Premium Performance Training (Sales).
