WHO ARE YOU LOOKING FOR AS PRESENTERS?
Women or men who are filled with passion, love, admiration, celebration, empowerment and honour for women and the feminine aspects of all of us. Whether you are an experienced presenter with academic qualifications and years of experience, a passionate therapist, a entrepreneur with your new innovative movement program, a mother of 5 kids who simply loves being a mum, a woman with personal tales of adventure, courage, inspiration and humility, a women’s choir or a traditional indigenous dance group we would love to hear from you!

WHY SHOULD I PRESENT AT VWCW CONFERENCE?
This is an opportunity to raise your profile, share your passion with a wider audience, network with other inspiring women (and men) passionate about women's health, empowerment and celebrating womanhood, raise the collective vibration of us all, make new friends and simply be a part of something big and meaningful that makes a difference… Obviously it’s also an awesome opportunity to learn, grow and nurture yourself with all the other amazing sessions and people who will be at this event.

I know it’s only our first year and we may be starting on a smaller scale but we have a big. BIG vision and we’d love for you to be a part of it… so this December 2010 we’ll be launching our first annual Vibrance Women’s Celebrating Womanhood Conference and we’ve already got the vision to build it bigger every year into the must attend event for women from all over the world and our goal is to celebrate our 10th year anniversary of VWCW Conference in 2020 at the Sydney Acer Arena.

Yes, we are accepting applications from both female and male presenters and will be accepting both female and male delegates to the conference however their will be sessions which are women only (as you complete your presenter application you will be given the option of either having a session open to everyone or for women only).

*SPECIAL NOTE FOR GROUP FITNESS PRESENTERS…
In regards to group fitness we are interested in unique, fun and friendly freestyle classes that require no equipment (except for yoga mats). Les Mills programs will not be accepted into the conference program as there are specific licensing laws/agreements required plus we want to encourage people to share their own heartfelt unique programs, ideas and concepts.

WHAT TYPES OF PRESENTATIONS ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? Anything that nurtures, inspires, celebrates or connects women in a positive way. Most importantly your session should be a combination of your passion, experience and expertise that comes from your heart and spirit. We love things that are unique and interesting.

WHAT DO WE RECEIVE AS A PRESENTER?
All presenters will receive a full conference presenter’s pass (this allows you access to all of the conference events and sessions during the two days) and the choice of either to bring a friend to the conference, the opportunity to promote your products and services or $100 presenter’s fee. If you are accepted to present 2 sessions you can choose two of these selections or if you present 3 sessions you are eligible to select all three.

WHERE WILL THE CONFERENCE BE HELD?
The conference will be held on the Queensland Gold Coast, Australia. We currently have a venue booked however have the feeling we may grow bigger than that space will hold even within our first year. We will be using the number of presenter applications we receive by the closing date of 31 March 2010 to give us an indication of the level of interest in the community for this type of event and then finalise the venue details. There are several reasons we have chosen to hold our first conference on the Gold Coast including the beautiful beaches, easy access to the airport and affordable venue prices which will allow us to also keep our conference prices as affordable as possible to everyone.

WILL FLIGHTS, ACCOMMODATION OR MEALS BE PROVIDED FOR ME AS A PRESENTER? With this being our first major event unfortunately we cannot provide flights, accommodation or meals for presenters or volunteers. However we do expect to have a few special surprises for you as special thanks for being a part of our event and helping us to nurture, inspire, celebrate and connect together the women of this nation and beyond. Our goal is that you will leave the weekend feeling like you have gained much more than you had given and that it was one of the most spectacular, memorable and valuable experiences you have ever had.
