A Trans-Tasman sports and exercise podiatry conference.
Join us as we embark on a new chapter of SEPA CPD: a Trans-Tasman sports and exercise podiatry conference held in the stunning adventure capital of New Zealand: Queenstown.
As the name suggests, the theme of this conference is collaboration. Being a boutique Conference with limited registrations available, expect a solid clinical program, along with plenty of opportunities for networking and collaboration with podiatrists from across Australia and New Zealand – all against the scenic backdrop of Queenstown.
Keynote speakers
One more speaker to be announced soon! Stay tuned for details
Assoc. Prof. Luke Kelly
Luke Kelly is an Associate Professor of Allied Health Research and Director of the Australian Centre for Precision Health & Technology, at Griffith University. He is a trained podiatrist (QUT) with a PhD in Biomechanics and Motor Control (University of Queensland).
Luke’s research incorporates approaches from biomechanics, neurophysiology and morphometrics to understand how the interactions between structure and neural control influence foot function, and the influence of our feet have on whole body mechanics and energetics. His research program has broad applications across a range of areas, including health (e.g. chronic musculoskeletal conditions), athletic footwear innovation, high-performance sport, and technology development.
Luke’s research program has attracted more than $6 million in research funding since 2015, for projects funded by the Australian government and commercial partners.
