IDEA World Fitness Convention – 2009
One of the reasons I return to IDEA conferences year after year is because their vision really resonates with me: “To Inspire the World To Fitness!” Every time I go, I am motivated by the energy of my fellow attendees, challenged by the new perspectives of my colleagues, and lured into buying stuff at the expo (though I’ll try not to spend any money this year – LOL).
Although I will be attending as presenter this year, I am looking forward to being educated, as well. So often we are wrapped up in our own field that we neglect to follow-up on research in other areas. Since exergaming and fitness technology are the main focus points of this blog, I often enjoy going to sessions that complement my knowledge – such as, lectures on stress & nutrition, workshops on creating successful boot camps, and cycling workouts that make me sweat.
This year I will be presenting the following sessions:
#105 and #185: R-KAIDE: The Newest Way To Score Points (Workout) (co-presenter Fred Hoffman)
#405: From R-KAIDE to the Aerobics Room: Video Games Get Active (Workshop) (co-presenter Fred Hoffman)
#248: Blogging Basics (Lecture)
#278: Marketing Your Blog in All the Right Places (Lecture)
#474: Managing a Multi-Generational Staff (Panel with Amanda Vogel and Fred Hoffman)
Over the next few days, I will be blogging my adventures here. Feel free to join me there!

It’s official…you are crazier than I! I think I’ve only done four presentations at the same conference.

Thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge in the field of Blogging, marketing and managing. I attended three of your IDEA World workshops and found you to be fun, informative and down to earth. Thanks again.
