Farewell 2016 , bring on 2017 !
It ’ s hard to believe that the end of another year is fast approaching and we ’ ll soon be ringing in 2017 . The end of calendar year sees a brief slow down for Network HQ before the crazy first few months of the new year bring the real busy season for all of us in the fitness industry .
As usual for the Summer issue , this edition of Network magazine is accompanied by the FILEX brochure which contains all of the information you ’ ll need to plan an amazing event . We couldn ’ t be more excited to return to our ‘ home ’ in Darling Harbour – but this time at the brand new International Convention Centre ( ICC ) Sydney . Having had a walk-through of the new facilities I can say the architects and builders have done an exceptional job and you ’ ll certainly be able to enjoy a world class venue at FILEX 2017 .
Following on from last year ’ s roaring success , we ’ re pleased to be hosting the second annual Women of Influence Lunch on Saturday 29 April at Dockside . This special , longer format event will sell out , so be sure to save your spot ASAP , either through a FILEX Gold Pass registration or as a standalone booking .
Trainers will be excited to hear that we ’ ve managed to secure industry legends ( and first time FILEX presenters ) Thomas Myers and Bret Contreras . Both are highly regarded global educators that rarely speak at conferences , so the opportunity to see them at FILEX is truly once in a lifetime .
Another exciting initiative is the launch of the brand new Ignite Yoga Summit , being held onsite at the same time as FILEX . Created in consultation with some of Australia ’ s leading yoga educators , Ignite has been designed for qualified teachers who are passionate about growing and developing their teaching skills . If you ’ re a yoga teacher , or know someone who is , check out the ad on page 29 for more info .

Wishing you a very happy holiday season , and all the best for 2017 .
