Snow Australia National Participation Conference a success

More than 120 attendees, from across the snowsports community, came together last week in Canberra for the inaugural Snow Australia National Participation Conference.

Over the two days, four keynote speakers presented, eighteen workshops were held and multiple panel discussions were had.

Each keynote presentation gave insights into the sport and snow sports industry concluding with a panel discussion with the presenters with a wide range of questions being asked by the audience.

Snow Australia would like to thank Kate Palmer AM, Pierre Comis, Belinda Trembath, Adam Hosie, Mel Johnston and Grant Parker for their insights they shared over the two days.

The conference also aligned with the Snow Australia brand launch and inaugural Community Sport Awards (click here to see the full list of winners).

Themed “Supporting Participation in Snowsports and Developing Championships,” the conference delivered key learnings, showcased best practice, and provided tools and insights into our sport.

The event provided attendees with invaluable networking opportunities and a platform for information sharing, discussion and feedback.

Highlight of the conference was the Olympian and Paralympian session, in which Jono Brauer, Manuela Berchtold, Mel Perrine and her guide Bobbi Kelly spoke of their athlete journeys and where they have been able to go because of the sport.

Snow Australia will look for future opportunities connect in and share information with the community.
