Even Scot Spak (MIT) gave us a thumbs up at our speaker social May 17th at Lir!

This year, we decided that we would put together what would be arguably the best Sports Medicine and Performance Seminar in the WORLD!

As we did in previous years, this seminar was divided into separate educational tracks including a Sports Fusion Track (formally Hockey & Basketball), a Sports Medicine/Rehabilitation Track, along with additional breakout learning opportunities throughout the weekend with of course four of the world's authorities on Health, Performance, and Sports Science addressing all of our delegates as Keynote Speakers throughout the weekend bringing each track together for four ground breaking lectures. Attendees could choose to stay within one track throughout the entire weekend or mix and match to meet their educational needs.
