PROMISE Conference – Protecting Mental Health in Sport + Exercise Conference

PROMISE26 Workshops

Workshops to run in parallel with main session: pre-registration required. Limited to 30 per group. 1 Workshop per Delegate

Enhance your conference experience with a practical, small-group Workshop running alongside the main plenary session. Each Workshop is designed to offer focused learning, interactive discussion, and the opportunity to explore key topics in greater depth with expert facilitators.

Please note that by attending a Workshop, you will miss the plenary session taking place at the same time.

Places are limited to 30 delegates per Workshop and must be booked in advance through pre-registration. To ensure as many attendees as possible can access these sessions, each delegate may register for one Workshop only.

The Workshops will take place within the USOPC Visitor Center, just a short walk from the West Wing Conference Center. Please see the link to the campus map below for directions.
