Will there be an IDEA World Club & Studio Summit

IDEA World Club & Studio Summit will not be a standalone event in 2025 . Club & Studio sessions will be a track on the IDEA World Convention program that is open to all paid attendees. If you are a Club & Studio owner or manager interested in attending, please register as an IDEA World attendee, and select the sessions within the Club & Studio track. In addition, there will be a Club & Studio pre-event intensive geared toward Club & Studio owners.

Will there be educational sessions on Sunday July 20?

IDEA World has generally had a half-day of programming on Sunday, but over the years, we've found that fewer than half of our attendees typically stay for the final two sessions. As a result, we made the decision to eliminate Sunday from the program, while still offering over 20 CEC hours over the course of the other three days. We understand this may initially seem like you’re receiving less for a similar price, but we’ve worked hard to keep IDEA World cost-effective for our entire community.

Will there be pre-convention sessions on Wednesday July 16?

We have decided not to offer pre-convention sessions at this year's conference due to logistical challenges and time constraints. Focusing on the main event allows us to streamline programming and ensure a higher quality experience for all attendees. Additionally, we found that the demand for pre-convention sessions was lower than anticipated in previous years.

Can people bring in their own equipment to use/demonstrate in sessions when working out?

No, because of safety concerns we cannot allow any other type of equipment (wearable, portable) other than the equipment that IDEA has provided in the conference session(s).

Once on-site, you will want to make sure you have your registration confirmation, picture ID, a printed copy of session handouts, water (bring a bottle and refill it at the water stations), snacks, a sweatshirt (sometimes the rooms get a little cool, especially after some exercise), a yoga mat (for mind/body sessions), a notepad and a pen or pencil and business cards for networking.

Are there places to change and/or shower between classes?

Unfortunately, other than your hotel room, there are no shower facilities available to attendees in the hotel or convention center. Restroom facilities throughout the venue can be used for changing clothes, if needed.

Will handouts be available for event sessions?

Session handouts will not be available at the event. Attendees should print the handouts they need. All registered attendees will receive an email with the session handouts 1 week prior to the event. Session handout can also be available in the official event app.

How do I get CECs for the sessions I attend?

Your proof of attendance and CEC credits are on your CEC certificate, which will be emailed to you at the conclusion of the event. The certificate will populate with the sessions selected during the registration process. You will receive communication on how to change/select sessions leading up to the event.

Which certification agencies offer CECs for this event?

IDEA will petition most certifying agencies for event CECs including ACE, ACSM, AFAA, NASM, NESTA and more. Once CECs have been approved, they will be listed in the session descriptions.

How many CECs can I earn at the event?

You can earn up to 20 CEC hours by attending the full event. That’s enough credit for your certification renewal! (Please check with your specific certification agency for their renewal criteria).

What do I do if zero credits are assigned to my scheduled session?

CECs are assigned by the certification agency, not IDEA. Certification agencies base credits on the education provided and presenter qualifications. If you would like to attend a different session that is offering CEC credit, simply make the change online to your schedule prior to attending the event, or to make changes to your schedule on-site, visit Attendee Registration.

How many CECs are offered for each session?

Generally, you’ll receive one CEC per contact hour for workshops and lectures. If you attend a 2-hour workshop, you’ll receive up to 2 credit hours. We are in the process of getting approvals from each of the agencies above and will post the credits as soon as they are available. That way you’ll know exactly how many credits the sessions you are interested in attending are approved for.

What is the age you need to be in order to attend/register for the IDEA World?

You need to be at least 18 years old to attend IDEA World. In response to attendee requests and to preserve the educational atmosphere of the event, children under the age of 18 are not allowed in sessions, even to observe.

What is your policy on service animals?

If you require an Emotion Support Animal (ESA) please contact IDEA prior to arriving to the event. IDEA will require current documentation (not more than one year old) on letterhead from a licensed mental health professional stating (1) the attendee has a mental health-related disability listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM IV); (2) having the animal accompany the attendee is necessary to the attendee’s mental health or treatment; (3) the individual providing the assessment of the attendee is a licensed mental health professional and the attendee is under his/her professional care; and (4) the date and type of the mental health professional’s license and the state or other jurisdiction in which it was issued. This documentation may be required as a condition of permitting ESA’s to accompany attendees. Under the Americans With Disabilities Act, ESA’s are not given the same rights and exemptions as Service Animals and approval of ESA’s in public areas and businesses are at the discretion of those entities. If prior approval is not given by IDEA, attendees will be asked to remove the ESA from the event.

What is the IDEA Cancellation Policy?

Cancellations on or before June 17, 2025 will be refunded in full (less a $100 processing fee) or a full credit issued to your IDEA account. Cancellations received after June 17, 2025 will be issued an open credit, in the full amount of your purchase that can be used toward a future IDEA event. Open credits issued will expire on December 31 of the following calendar year. *IDEA membership fees purchased as part of a bundle package are non-refundable. We’ve made it easier to switch names on event registrations at no charge. If you can’t make it, you may send a colleague in your place by contacting Inspired Service at least 7 days prior to the event (switches are subject to a fee increase based on member status). Contact Inspired Service for further assistance at 858-535-8979, ext. 7, or email at member@ideafit.com . IDEA Health & Fitness Association is not responsible for any loss or damage because of a substitution, alteration or cancellation/postponement of an event. IDEA shall assume no liability whatsoever in the event this conference is canceled, rescheduled or postponed due to a fortuitous event, act of God, unforeseen occurrence or any other event that renders performance of this conference impracticable, illegal or impossible. For purposes of this clause, a fortuitous event shall include, but not be limited to: war, fire, labor strike, extreme weather or other emergency.

Will there be a virtual offering for IDEA World Convention?

Select sessions will be recorded and available post-event through the Video Library at www.ideafit.com . There will not be a “live” virtual offering for this event.

Is IDEA World available to non-IDEAfit members?

Yes, IDEA World is available to both members and non-members. Reduced event pricing is a benefit of membership so if you aren’t currently a member, we encourage you to explore an event bundle, which includes a 1-year IDEA Pro membership and registration to IDEA World for one convenient price.
