The MedFit Education Foundation is proud to confirm the second annual MedFit Global Virtual Conference, which will once again be produced on the SUCCEED! Virtual Conference platform.
The 2026 edition is scheduled for late September 2026 (exact dates to be announced), expanding on a landmark inaugural event in 2025 that demonstrated overwhelming demand for clinically focused, practical education.
“MedFit’s first global virtual conference validated what clinicians and fitness teams already know: there’s a huge need for evidence-based, accessible education that fits into busy clinical and practice schedules,” said Josh Leve. “We’re excited to host MedFit again on the SUCCEED! platform and scale what worked; deeper clinical tracks, more practitioner pathways, and even greater on-demand access so teams can learn and implement without missing a beat.”
The momentum from 2025
The inaugural MedFit Global Virtual Conference (2025) delivered exceptional reach and engagement, proving virtual-first programming is essential for the medical-fitness ecosystem:
- Event hub momentum: the MedFit conference page recorded ~29,000 unique visitors and ~97,000 page views, accounting for roughly one-third of the site’s traffic during the window.
- New audience expansion: more than 23,000 first-time visitors landed on the conference hub, signaling strong net-new demand for clinically aligned fitness content.
- High engagement across deep subject matter: attendees consumed more than 80 expert-led sessions covering clinical, programmatic, and operational topics.
“From the beginning, we believed medical-fitness professionals needed a dedicated, practical education home,” said Lisa Dougherty. “The energy and engagement from our inaugural event proved that this format works. For fitness and health professionals balancing client care, business responsibilities, and family life, virtual learning is not a compromise; it’s often the most practical way to upskill teams together.”
Standout themes that will expand in 2026
The 2025 program highlighted clinically critical topics that resonated with attendees. Those themes, and new extensions planned for 2026, include:
- Bridging healthcare and fitness with practical referral pathways
- Precision programming for chronic conditions and aging populations
- Functional therapies that support foundational movement and system integrity
- Use of objective data and physiological signals in exercise programming
- Behavior change and long-term adherence strategies
- Innovations in patient-centered technology and gamified exercise
