Conference Information

 

 

Join us for PMA's 10th Annual International
Educational Conference
November 4-7, 2010, Long Beach, California

 

 

This conference marks a decade of work by the Pilates community to unify, network, share and professionalize. We have accomplished an enormous amount in the last ten years, and now we're turning a corner with our New Vision which will give you more ways to be actively involved.

 

Mark your calendars and enjoy low summer registration prices (groups of three or more people can receive discounted rates). Amongst many other exciting sessions, our 2010 conference will have dedicated chair workshops and workouts, a PMA Business Track, and the addition of our first ever Town Hall Meeting.

 

Delegates at this conference will receive 16 PMA CECs!

During January and February, the agenda is subject to change. Because of this, please note that you will NOT be able to select your mat classes or workshops during the pre-registration period; you will be able to do so as of March 1, 2010. When you pre-register for the conference and have successfully made your online payment, you will automatically receive a confirmation number via e-mail.

 

Beginning on March 1, 2010, please revisit the registration website and use your confirmation number to select your mat classes and workshops. The PMA will send you an e-mail to alert you to revisit our website again to register for your sessions.

Please note that the PMA does not guarantee your spot in any sessions, even if you pre-register for the conference. Each session has a maximum capacity. Classes do fill up quickly, so you should revisit our website to register for your sessions as soon as you receive our alert e-mail.

It is imperative that you enter your most current e-mail address into the registration website, as that will be the e-mail address used to send you the alert e-mail.

If you have any questions or need help pre-registering for the conference, please contact Tanya Nieto-Winzey at tanyan@pilatesmethodalliance.org or call 1-866-573-4945 ext. 306. Please note that the fastest and most efficient way to reach Tanya is via email.
