32nd ACHPER International Conference

The 32nd ACHPER International Conference invites researchers, educators, coaches, industry professionals and thought leaders to join us in exploring what is happening in our field today: the challenges, breakthroughs, and possibilities in movement and recreation and health and physical education in a world shaped by AI.

As artificial intelligence rapidly reshapes the educational and sporting landscape, it is essential for health and physical education (HPE) researchers, educators, and professionals to critically engage with its impacts, opportunities, and ethical complexities. Rather than standing in opposition, AI is already transforming movement education practice and research — enhancing teaching and learning, and supporting students and athletes with diverse strengths and needs in dynamic, new ways. Yet, these advancements come with real dilemmas and tensions that demand thoughtful exploration.

Join us 12–14 November 2025 in vibrant Melbourne, Australia. Together, we’ll explore what it means to teach, move, connect, assess, and flourish — and how we can build a future where movement remains essential to life.

 Conference Inclusions:

  • All conference sessions
  • Exhibition Hall
  • Welcome networking function included in registration on Day 1.
