Set to return from 11th to 13th July, the 2022 National Sports & Physical Activity Convention (NSC22) has set itself an ambitious agenda to address the future of sport, recreation and physical activity.

Being held for the first time in three years, NSC22 aims to re-connect the community sports and recreation industry with a focus on growing participation sustainably and inclusivity.

Being developed with our key partners, collaborators and industry thought leaders to reflect the big issues and needs of the industry, this year the Convention will open on the 11th July with the NSC Oration exploring what our next generation of leaders want the industry to be like in 10 years’ time. One of Australia’s most decorated athletes will provide a compelling vision of why we need to change for the industry to be successful and ready for Brisbane 2032.

The following two-day conference program will include four global/chief executive Thought Leader Sessions exploring:

• Sustainability and Climate Change Impact on Sport and Sports Opportunity to Impact on Climate Change - What Can We Change for Brisbane 2032
• The Move Away from Win at All Costs to Valuing Integrity, Good Governance and Culture
• How Do We Activate the Community to be More Interested In Sport and Active Recreation Ready for 2032
• A Blueprint for the Next Decade - Redefining and Leveraging Major Sporting Events to Benefit Community Participation

In addition, there are five Big Issues Keynote Sessions this year, aligned with our industry sectors:

1. The Participation Agenda - Who Should Be Connecting Exercise and Fitness with Play, Recreation and Community Sport
2. Active Cities and Spaces to Generate an Active Nation Ready for Brisbane 2032
3. The Importance of a Children and Young People’s Agenda
4. Re-imagining Culture and Leadership in the Sports Industry
5. Innovative Environments to Activate Community Sport and Recreation

NSC22 will also host 25 workshops over five streams, three industry tours, eight hours of networking opportunities, the sport and recreation expo hosting 70+ exhibitors and two activation areas, along with the Australian Sport, Recreation and Play Innovation Awards, with an expanded 10 categories in 2022.

Over 600 delegates are expected to attend NSC22 which is being held at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre.
