Nemesis Grips and Bloc 9.81 are pleased to present the first edition of GripCon, a conference dedicated to all things grip!

On July 27, we'll bring world-class grip athletes, sports therapy experts, competition coordinators and training equipment experts together under one roof at Bloc 9.81 in Gatineau, Quebec.

Attendees will be able to see and touch a wide variety of tools, learn more about training and its relevance to other sports, and participate in activities. The conference will include the official international "Feather Crush" Grip competition, a women's-only competition in which participants can take part.

Speakers will talk about the history and future of the sport, and facilitate workshops on technique.

Booths will be set up in the center of the site for attendees to inform, learn and shop.
