13th Annual IHRSA / Fitness Brasil Latin American Conference & Trade Show

August 30 - September 1, 2012 | São Paulo, Brazil
Transamerica Expo Center

We spent three days immersed in incredible presentations focusing on all aspects of running a health club. The speakers surprised us with their focus on responding to customer needs and wants, even when the topic focused on finance or business management. This show emphasized that in addition to being managers, we deal with PEOPLE and our responsibility is much greater because of it.
