The theme of the 2011 Conference, Moving, Learning and Achieving, reminded us of what we should aim to strive for in our teaching and learning, the challenges facing our area in demonstrating educational creditability, and what is unique about Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Sport in school and in life. The papers forming the 2011 Conference Proceedings speak to both the challenges and to the triumphs occurring across ACHPER's focus areas. I am indebted to the colleagues who have rallied to the call to organise the conference. In particular, the Conference Organising Committee: Dr Graham Dodd, Janet Harper, Toby Priest, Craig Fosdike, Amanda Henry; and ACHPER staff Matt Schmidt, Jeff Emmel, Emily Arbon, Rick Baldock, Jennifer Buchan, Megan Cowper and Lauren Comas. My thanks also go to those who assisted Graham on the Program Committee and in reviewing abstracts and papers, and those who adjudicated the Early Career/Young Scholar award. It is just one of the pleasing outcomes of the conference, that after some years in abeyance, the Early Career/Young Scholar award was reinstated at the 2011 ACHPER Conference. We are delighted that we acquired international and national speakers to present across ACHPER's focus areas, and other international, national and local eXperts have been attracted to present at the conference. Thank you for your support. It made possible a broad ranging program catering for the academic interest and the practical purposes of the wider profession in one conference - academics, teacher educators and school teachers 'side-by-side' at a conference is quite special in professional development/learning. On behalf of the Conference Organising Committee, I trust your stay in Adelaide was enjoyable and the attendance at the conference personally and professionally rewarding. We look forward to you joining us at a future ACHPER event in South Australia.
