Gymnastics Association of Texas
57th annual Conference
August 30-September 1, 2024
Austin, Texas

We invite you and your coaches to the 57th Annual Gymnastics Association of Texas Convention at the beautiful Renaissance Hotel in Austin, Texas.

We offer two different ticket options. Conference registration which allows you to attend all open sessions, OR our ITP (Instructor Training Programs) registration (includes general lectures). Both options include your annual GAT membership dues. Be sure to check our website for any updates provided from us prior to attending the conference.

We rotate our Instructor Training Programs (ITP) annually, so they are not all offered each year. The ITP courses for 2024 are listed below. To learn more about which course is right for you check out the detailed ITP course descriptions found in the ITP Courses tab at gatx.org. You must attend the entire ITP course to receive your certificate. Attendees are responsible for their own transportation for any off-site courses.
