The Platform is a highly coveted opportunity that is rarely available at industry-leading conferences, but the Women’s Health and Fitness Summit (WHFS18) prides itself on integrating original ideas and unique opportunities year upon year, and The Platform is the epitome of innovation.

The Platform is an annual opportunity for four individuals to gain the extensive and tailored training and experience required, for them to consider joining the professional speaking circuit in the future. Fitness professionals, allied health professionals and the general public are invited to apply for The Platform, and this year applications arrived from all corners of the globe, showcasing all range of expertise in health, fitness and wellbeing.

After a great deal of deliberation, four health professionals were selected, all of whom share a genuine passion for and commitment to improving the lives of others.

The WHFS18 organisers are proud to announce that the keynote speakers of the future are…

The event brings together thought leaders in fitness, exercise physiology, physiotherapy and allied health, and individuals who embrace change with regards to how they holistically care for their clients, themselves and their business.
