The SWIS (Society of Weight-Training Injury Specialists) Summit has been known for its comprehensive approach to fitness and health education, and the 2024 edition is no exception. What sets this summit apart is its focus on interactive learning. Attendees can expect 80% of the sessions to be experiential and workshop-based, offering a “learn by doing” approach rather than passive lectures.

This setup ensures that attendees can customize their day according to their interests and professional needs, all while engaging with the latest insights in the industry.
