About This Show
AI-drafted summaryObesityWeek® 2026 is The Obesity Society's 44th Annual Meeting and the premier international conference for obesity researchers and clinicians. It showcases the most recent advances in evidence-based obesity science—including cutting-edge basic and clinical research, state-of-the-art treatment and prevention strategies, and the latest developments in advocacy and public policy.
Because obesity is a complex chronic disease, the meeting is built around multidisciplinary collaboration. It brings together the full spectrum of the field: from basic and translational research to clinical application and policy; from diet, exercise, lifestyle, and psychology to medical and surgical interventions; and across populations from pediatric to geriatric to underserved communities. Attendees include researchers, clinicians (MDs, DOs, NPs and PAs), dietitians and nutritionists, mental health professionals, exercise physiologists, policy researchers and advocates, trainees, and leaders.
The program spans four days of science and networking. Attendees can expect cutting-edge science, 175+ sessions, networking with 4,300+ obesity professionals from 60+ countries, and up to 20.5 CME credits, all in person in Washington, DC. Clinicians can also earn continuing education while connecting with peers shaping the future of obesity treatment.
