The BOP Ferns Club was set up to celebrate Bay of Plenty sporting success.
It also has a goal of nurturing the region's future sporting stars.
Last year the club held a highly successful sports coaching forum with a wide range of guest presenters and this year the event is to be repeated.
The 2017 Sports Coaching Forum will feature presenters Allan Jones (football), Simon Dickie (rowing), Kerry Hill (athletics), Dr Stacy Sims (endurance), sports psychologist Dr Andrew Waterson and Dr Angus Ross (strength and fitness).
The keynote speaker is renowned nutritionist Jeni Pearce, who will talk about the management of dietary and hydration issues, and there will be a forum on managing social media in sport.
