Get off the court and to Melbourne for the 2012 Tennis Victoria Country Conference. It’s your opportunity to come together with other country tennis people in an interactive forum with tennis industry speakers to talk about the big issues in our great sport, including Australian tennis icon John Fitzgerald.

You will network with the stars off the court, the key people driving tennis in country Victoria, as you discuss issues relating to participation, facilities, club operations, promotions and communications, as well as competitions and tournaments, with a solutions focus.

If you’re passionate about country tennis and your club, want to learn more about the development of the sport and growing your club, then the 2012 Tennis Victoria Country Conference is for you.
