The speaker application is now closed.

The theme of 2020 International Conference is Lifelong Learning (终生学习). Our shared 2020 vision - to manifest the following values: innovation, connection, practicality, integration, growth, openness, harmony, propagation, cognition, growth mind-set, survivor’s attitude/mentality, originality, diligence, creative vision and educational model.

We look forward to welcome participants from vast regions and cultures. They include members of board of directors and faculty members of Breakthroughs International, kinesiology founders, faculty members, instructors, consultants, practitioners and students. Experts and participants of other relevant fields are also expected to participate in the conference. The conference is not only a grand event offering opportunity for growth and learning, it also offers great opportunities for skill and knowledge exchange and network building for people interested in the theme of “lifelong learning”.

The conference will be conducted bilingually in Chinese and English. English essays will be translated and printed into Chinese in the conference manuals, and vice versa. Conference speeches in English will be interpreted into Mandarin Chinese and vice versa.

The conference will be held at a high-rating, good-quality hotel Pullman Shanghai Qingpu Excellence. This hotel is not far from the two international airports of Shanghai - Hongqiao International Airport and Pudong International Airport. It is also close to railway, subway and major transportation stations. The 800-meter hotel ballroom and other conference rooms provide speakers and participants a comfortable environment for exchange and learning. The hotel is close to the Yangtze-style scenic water living village Zhujiajiao Ancient Town, a “AAAA”-grade touring spot, offering a convenient day trip for conference speakers and participants before or afterwards.

The organizers would like to invite experts from all fields to deliver speeches and publish essays on the topic of lifelong learning. This includes kinesiology founders, instructors and educators and people with relevant educational background and professional experiences. In particular, we are looking for speakers who are keen to share their new ideas in applying kinesiology to enhance the process of lifelong learning
