Well, I made it through attending both the IDEA and BCRPA conferences in the same weekend (one was in Anaheim, CA, the other in Vancouver, B.C.)!
The photo is me, on the right, at IDEA World with publicist extraordinaire Leslie McClure (she keeps me up to date on the market’s best new fitness DVDs).
On the last day of IDEA World, I rolled out of bed at 5 a.m. to catch a shuttle from the hotel in Anaheim to LAX. If my flight back to Vancouver had been delayed, I might have missed getting to the BCRPA conference site in time to present during the last session on the last day.
Everything went without a hitch, though, and I arrived at the BCRPA conference just as they were breaking down the tradeshow. At one of the booths, I scored free carrot sticks and apple slices in little bags–a perfect on-the-go snack as I headed to my session room.
Next conferences in 2009:
Can-Fit-Pro Vancouver (Nov. 7-8), where I’ll be presenting:
- Boost Your Fitness Business with Twitter, Facebook, Blogs & More
Island Fitness Conference (Nov. 14-15) in Victoria, B.C., where I’ll be presenting:
- The Ultimate Multi-Tasking Workout (athletic step/strength intervals)
- Lower Body Blast (legs, butt, abs, back exercises)
- Group Cycling: Motivating Musical Adventures

Do you attend the Toronto conference? I don’t remember seeing your name.
Hi Laurel,
Do you mean Can-Fit-Pro Toronto? I haven’t presented at that conference in a few years. I’d like to go back, so if you are interested in the sessions I present, please let them know.
Thanks for visiting my blog!
