The International Mixed Martial Arts Federation invites members to attend its third annual Technical Seminar congress from 12 to 16 October 2020. Due to current international restrictions on gathering and travel, IMMAF will host this year’s event online, live and on-demand.
With finalised programme and access information to be released shortly, IMMAF has published the event schedule as detailed below.
IMMAF President Kerrith Brown said:
“While the global lock-down has restricted the organisation of competitions and physical events, we must use the time opportunity to focus on governance and upskilling as we continue to strive to meet the highest standards with the aim to come back stronger in 2021. The Seminar Week presents an opportunity to come together again as a community and we are pleased to offer National Federation delegates a range of educational seminars to assist the continued development and growth of their organisations during this time.”
If there are any particular topics members would like to see covered in a session, please contact the seminar organiser.
