FILEX 2013 Business Summit: event reference

Historical reference, updated 20 September 2026.

The FILEX 2013 Business Summit was advertised as a pre-convention event for fitness business owners and managers. This historical reference explains the event behind older links to its programme.

Date, venue and purpose

Contemporary Australasian Leisure Management coverage placed the summit on Thursday 18 April 2013 at Doltone House, Jones Bay Wharf, Pyrmont. It preceded the main FILEX convention, scheduled for 19–21 April at the Sydney Convention & Exhibition Centre.

The advertised programme

The report described an opening industry overview from Nigel Champion and sessions featuring Creel Price, Rudy Fabiano and Anna-Louise Bouvier. Themes included business skills, club design, staff stability and systems. It also listed a forum involving club operators and a closing session from retention specialist Paul Brown.

These details describe the advertised programme. They do not establish a transcript of what each presenter said, and the historical contact details and registration arrangements are not current booking instructions.
