ASPA is pleased to announce that the 3rd Asia-Pacific Society for Physical Activity conference will take place on the 27th to 28th of November 2023 at the Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington in Wellington, New Zealand. ASPA 2023 is the premier physical activity conference in the Asia-Pacific region and brings together leading experts, practitioners, policy makers, and researchers to share their knowledge and insights. The conference theme for 2023 is Mahi Tahi – Working Together.

We are excited to be hosting ASPA 2023 alongside the Sport and Exercise Science New Zealand (SESNZ) annual conference, which will be held at the same venue on the 28th and 29th of November 2023. This partnership means we have an extensive program on Day Two of ASPA 2023 (November 28th), including multiple parallel sessions, cross-cutting keynotes, and plenty of networking opportunities. There is also an option to add Day Three to your conference ticket for the final day of the SESNZ conference.

Conference venue 

We are excited to host the in-person conference in Wellington, New Zealand at Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of WellingtonPerched on the water’s edge and surrounded by nature, Wellington is a compact, connected and vibrant capital.

Located in the middle of New Zealand with direct flights into Wellington from Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Fiji. Frequent flights from Auckland provides easy connectivity with the rest of Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Tokyo and further afield. Wellington’s CBD is only a 15-minute drive from Wellington Airport, the longest commute you will have during your stay.

The walkable central city means that the conference venue, accommodation, dining and cultural precincts are all within short walking distance.

Wellington is surrounded by beautiful scenery and green spaces. Wellington’s waterfront is perfect for a morning run with views across the harbour or take a stroll through beautiful native bush to Mt Victoria Lookout.
