Welcome to WISC2026
The Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) Female Performance Health Initiative is proud to host the third Women in Sport Congress (WISC2026) from March 8-11, 2026 in Brisbane. The biennial event will feature some of the world’s foremost authorities on female athlete health and performance to present the latest research, insights and best practice. For those looking to achieve even greater results on the world stage, this is an opportunity not to be missed.
We would like to emphasise that this conference is not exclusive to women. We welcome registrations and abstract submissions from Australian and International researchers, performance support practitioners, academics and coaches with an interest in women in sport. We recognise that collaboration, diversity and being an ally to women are vital in providing support for women in sport.
