ACTIVATE FitCon 2026 is set to take place in Ottawa from April 17–19, bringing together fitness professionals, coaches, students, and industry leaders for one of the region’s most comprehensive education and networking events.
Hosted by Activate Academy and taking place at La Cité (801 Aviation Parkway), the conference continues to position itself as a hands-on, career-focused experience—combining movement labs, leadership sessions, and practical education designed to support long-term success in the industry.
With sessions spanning strength and conditioning, lifestyle coaching, business development, and leadership, ACTIVATE FitCon offers attendees a well-rounded program aimed at both skill development and professional growth. The event also includes FitPalooza on April 18, a high-energy, public-facing fitness experience that opens the doors to the broader community.
FIC to Highlight Industry Direction in Featured Session
A key addition to this year’s lineup is a featured presentation delivered in collaboration with the Fitness Industry Council of Canada (FIC), titled:
“The State of the Industry: Positioning Fitness as Essential Health Infrastructure.”
The session will focus on the evolving role of the fitness sector within Canada’s broader health landscape, particularly as the country continues to address rising rates of chronic disease and mental health challenges.
Led in partnership with FIC, the presentation will explore current industry conditions, emerging trends heading into 2026, and the strategic advocacy priorities shaping the future of fitness in Canada. Attendees can expect a mix of insight, discussion, and practical takeaways—particularly around how operators and professionals can align with broader efforts to position fitness as a recognized component of national health infrastructure.
The session is designed to provide clarity on how these shifts may impact business models, regulatory environments, and the long-term positioning of fitness professionals as community health partners.
