In this episode, we reflect on the ‘STA & Hands On Hub Conference’ that took place nearly two weeks ago on the 20th and 21st September in Exmouth, in collaboration with the ST School. Host Matt Phillips is joined by Gary Benson, Founder of The Sports Therapy Association, Anna Maria Mazzieri, Director of The ST School, and Andy Hosgood, coach, mentor and Unlocker of Human Potential.

Together, they discuss what factors are important for a successful educational conference for soft tissue therapists, in what ways the ‘STA & Hands On Hub Conference’ succeeded, and how it could potentially be improved in future events. There is also an in depth discussion on what you SHOULD be getting when you pay for CPD, and useful advice on how to plan ahead & save funds for events you do not want to miss.
