The 17th World Leisure Congress will take place in Dunedin, New Zealand, from 12 to 16 December 2022.

Organised in partnership between the World Leisure Center of Excellence (WLCE) - University of Otago and the World Leisure Organisation (WLO), the main theme for the event will be “Learn well, live well”.

WLO has now confirmed the key dates for contributions from academia and industry, which will form the backbone of the event's learning programme.

The deadline for special session proposals has been set as 1 September 2021.

The 90-minute special sessions can be run as debates, discussion forums or workshops within the main congress programme.

WLO has also issued a call for abstracts, which will open on 1 November 2021.

"This is the time when individuals can submit abstracts that either relate to a specifically named session, or which align more broadly with the congress themes," WLO said.

More information on the Congress and how to apply for special sessions and abstract submissions can be found on the official event website: CLICK HERE.
