The British Fascia Symposium
June 25th & 26th 2016
Bank House Hotel, Worcester, U.K.
The British Fascia Symposium 2016 (BFS 16) will be held at the beautiful and convenient
Bank House Hotel in Worcester. www.bankhouseworcester.com
Worcester is 40 miles south of Birmingham with good access by road and train. The
symposium will have sole use of the hotel. There will be a pre-conference day on
Biotensegrity and there is the potential for other pre and post-conference days. Please
contact us directly if you require information about running additional workshop or
lecture events.
Our expected number of delegates is 300-350.
Experienced speakers are invited to apply to present at BFS 16. All proposals will be
considered by the BFS Committee. This year there are no parallel speaker options,
therefore your proposal is to be considered as a main stage speaker.
We invite speakers prepared to talk about an aspect of fascia that excites them and that
will excite the delegates. Lectures on specific modalities are discouraged as this event is
primarily educational. (To promote a modality, please apply for a workshop or consider
taking an exhibitor’s stand at the event).
The aim of the BFS committee is to present an event which enlightens,
informs and educates delegates and interests them in the world of fascia. Our
ethos is to enlighten and educate as a community. We aim for an impartial
event bringing the many and varied aspects of fascia to the delegates without
imparting a sense of division or competition. We trust you will ensure that
you reflect a positive attitude to other systems of fascial release work apart
from your own.
We also ask you not to present as fact anything that is not a scientifically
based fact. If the material is there for discussion or question, or if the
methodology you are discussing is known to work but the reason for its
effectiveness is not fully understood or proved, then we ask you to make it
clear that this is the case.
Please fill in and return the following Proposal Form by email. When we have
received it we will acknowledge receipt. If you do not hear from us, then do
contact us. Please then be patient as the Committee has to consider the many
proposals received. We will be selecting a variety of lectures in order to give fair
coverage to as many aspects of fascia work as possible.
Please attach a current, professional, high resolution photograph for our use
should your proposal be accepted.
If you have links to videos or YouTube clips of you teaching, do include them as this will
help us in our decision.
Should your proposal be accepted, we offer each lecturer in return one weekend ticket to
BFS 16 (includes refreshments and lunches but not Gala Dinner) and one night’s Bed and
Breakfast accommodation at either the Bank House Hotel or a nearby hotel with shuttle
bus provided. Should you be accepted for both a lecture and a workshop, we offer two
nights’ accommodation.
Deadline for submission: Friday 25th September 2015.
after this time can unfortunately not be considered.
