FILEX 2012: leading the way
John F Kennedy once said 'Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other' – a sentiment entirely appropriate for the FILEX fitness industry convention, which in 2012 embraces the theme of 'Leading the way'. You – the fitness professional or business owner – lead the way for your clients, members and society at large by encouraging people to live fit, strong and vital lives. And FILEX leads the way in learning for the fitness industry – providing you with cutting-edge presenters from around the world, delivering the most up-to-date and relevant information to help you grow both professionally and personally.
An exciting new initiative at FILEX this year is our inaugural Lifestyle & Exercise Medicine strand. The health and fitness challenges facing the population are greater than ever. Obesity and lifestyle diseases pose an increasingly serious threat to the way our society functions, with medical costs predicted to spiral out of control and potentially bankrupt the health system. All of which makes our job, and the leadership we display, more important than ever before. We hope you will gain insight, knowledge and inspiration to help combat the rise in lifestyle disease from the sessions in this strand, and in doing so, enhance the perception of the fitness industry as a serious contributor to preventative health.
In addition to this new strand, FILEX 2012 provides an incredible opportunity to reignite your passion for making a difference, and to gain new skills and inspiration to keep leading the way to a better life for your clients and members.
This year at FILEX:
- Registration is available exclusively online
- Register before 31 December to receive 2011 prices!
- Brand new FILEX Mobile App to enhance your onsite convention experience

Through FILEX, and our information and education contributions, Australian Fitness Network has been proudly leading the way in fitness education for 25 years. But while we realise that we have done lots of things right, we're not resting on our laurels: we know that in our fast-changing industry what worked yesterday may not work tomorrow, so we will continue striving to stay at the forefront of fitness and to lead the way for the next quarter of a century, and beyond.
We look forward to welcoming you to FILEX 2012.
