Workshops & symposiums
Exercise & Sports Science Australia (ESSA) invites Expressions of Interest (EOIs) from members and industry leaders to contribute to the Activate Conference 2026 program through symposiums and workshops.
Symposiums are ideal for collaborative panels, research discussions, emerging issues, and interdisciplinary topics. Workshops are ideal for applied skills training, methodology deep-dives, implementation-focused learning, and interactive professional development.
