I'm pretty sure this has been mentioned a few times, but in passing or suggestions, but as I'm too idle to search through the numerous comments - I figured I'd create my own..
Last night I fell asleep and not sure wether I was dreaming or thinking this before I fell asleep, but I suddenly devised a seminar/tour around the UK for MFP members..
Here's the concept....
Held over a 2 day period (potentially a Friday & Saturday) in various locations around the country
2 sections: 1 for seminars / talks and 1 for showcase / companies
Section 1: Seminars / Talks:
Opening Introduction: Guest Speaker (health/life/wealth etc someone like Lance Armstrong/Richard Branson/ **** & Rick Hoyt / Kelly Holmes) - inspirational people..
Full day broken into various subjects / topics covering;
Healthy Lifestyle / Balance
General Fitness & Advice
International MFP Success Stories - Guest Speakers
Weight Loss Seminar
Weight Gain Seminar
Healthy Cooking Tips n Tricks
Section 2: Exhibitors:
Fitness Products etc etc etc etc..
I've just returned from Australia after 9 years living there and today discovered The Vitality Show - which must have been a sign of my dream/thoughts...
But let's get to basics here.. The concept is to combine the likes of The Vitality Show (http://www.vitalitylive.co.uk) and The Fitness Expo (from Aus http://www.fitnessexpo.com.au), and as opposed to holding it one place we can do 3 (or more) such as South/Middle/North - so more people can get to it, but with a core aspect - aimed at MFP members, friends etc first, then opened to the general public.. MFP is more about weight loss, it's a whole life approach and I think this needs to be represented as we're all trying to achieve different goals..
Other things to consider as well:
Celebrity Appearances (sports stars, Beeto (Zumba)
Challenges (open to members / celebrities)
Special ticket packages etc etc
The core is that it's held by MFP, for MFP members initially..
Would people be interested in this type of event or consider it just another event that's like others out there.. If there are others, please do let me know of them, now I am back in the UK - I'm keen to find these type of events.. the Fitness Expo in Aus was fantastic to attend a few years ago.
What would you want from an event? Would you attend it? Who's set these things up before? so many questions that could be asked, but I'm curious towards people's thoughts in the meantime..
Cheers for reading my ramblings..

Sounds good to me as it would not be trying to sell a product but teachings for a healthyer life... I would go :bigsmile:0

What about something with an emotional well-being slant as well.? Maybe looking at body image but also about positivity and not getting focussed on negatives/encouraging people to look for the positives and small successes etc.0
