Company/Corporate Presentation Application

Welcome! And thank you for your interest in becoming one of the many companies who provide cutting-edge education/programming to the thousands of participants who attend IDEA events each year.

IDEA developed the company/corporate application for companies who wish to offer education for the fitness professional market. Vital information and instructions are written below. Please be sure to thoroughly review the instructions.

Thank you in advance for taking the time to complete the application. We appreciate the forethought and preparation that goes into the development of each and every session/program submission, and we look forward to reviewing it for possible inclusion on a 2014 conference program.

Important Note: Due to IDEA’s very tight marketing deadlines, we begin the programming process approximately 8-10 months in advance of the actual conference, so please pay close attention to the company application deadline dates in the “Conference Information” section below.

IDEA is always looking for fresh, new content. Therefore, we encourage you to update your application often so that your submissions remain relevant and current.
