Unlike traditional conferences, Career Lab LIVE offers an intimate and highly curated experience focused on building real careers through authentic connection, purposeful education, and a supportive community. This summit gathers 250 of the industry’s most passionate coaches, creators, and professionals to engage in meaningful learning, networking, and content creation designed to inspire growth and long-term success.

The day begins with an energizing morning workout led by Lacee Green and Maricris Lapaix, setting the tone for a day filled with movement, community, and inspiration. Attendees will benefit from up to seven continuing education credits (CECs) approved by ACE, ISSA, NASM, and NCSF, gaining actionable knowledge from industry leaders like Corey Calliet (keynote speaker), Nate Hyland, Pete McCall, Tricia Murphy-Madden, Jessica Maurer, and Todd Durkin (closing keynote).

This summit also features a dynamic Creator Corner, an onsite media hub for live interviews, podcast recordings, and content creation, offering sponsors and attendees a unique platform to share their stories and amplify their voices. After the sessions, attendees can connect at Revive, a post-event networking social with a sober curious wellness theme, encouraging authentic dialogue and deeper connections.

Career Lab LIVE is proud to partner with ACE as the official education sponsor, providing discounted certifications and courses to help new and experienced professionals expand their skills and offerings. Fabletics serves as the official apparel sponsor, outfitting presenters and staff and offering exclusive swag that enhances the attendee experience.

“Career Lab is a summit, but more importantly, it’s a community. I started my journey as a fitness professional 17 years ago, and it was the power of connection and community that shaped my career. This event is about giving that same opportunity to others where education meets inspiration and relationships spark long-term growth. We want every coach and creator to walk away with knowledge, and we want them to feel seen, supported, and connected,” said Kathleen Ferguson, Founder and CEO of Coach360.

Produced in partnership with TheFitExpo, Career Lab LIVE welcomes credentialed coaches, instructors, personal trainers, group fitness professionals, creators, and fitness operators ready to build sustainable careers in this evolving industry.
