Events

Conferences, trainings, study trips. Information, education, advice, guidance and networking.

Visiting and learning from eight exceptional sports and leisure facilities on two days – this was the ambitious goal of this year’s study trip to Greater Vancouver, Canada. What are the take-aways? This is what the international delegates say.

In addition to the exhibition space, IAKS is hosting a members’ networking event on the evening of 12 July. Come and connect with like-minded professionals and promote cross-sector exchange, information sharing and knowledge-transfer, to support the growth of the sports industry. We would love to connect with those in Australia and across the globe.

Prominent issues around community aquatic operations and design: IAKS Australia & New Zealand held the seminar on Thursday 22 June 2022 in conjunction with the largest aquatic exhibition in the southern hemisphere, the 2022 SPLASH!EXPO.

Networking event for existing IAKS members at Australasia’s leading community sport and recreation convention in Melbourne on Tuesday 12 July. Come and connect with like-minded professionals eager to promote cross-sector exchange, collaboration and knowledge-sharing.

Two medalists of the IOC IPC IAKS architecture prizes - Prof. Hiroko Tominaga from Kogakuin University and young professional Ryo Kobayashi - shared their ideas with the experts of IAKS Japan.

The networking event gave delegates a chance to learn more about the design and operation of the sports facilities at the university and a chance to explore them afterwards with a building tour.

The IAKS seminar will address important issues around commercial aquatic operations and design, such as developing modern facilities and social sustainability; pool safety technology; and functional facilities for sustainability. Speakers will be drawn from key sectors of the industry to address staffing, safety, and sustainability.
