THE OBESITY SOCIETY’S 44TH ANNUAL MEETING AT
ObesityWeek® 2026
Innovative Science to Transformational Care
WHAT IS OBESITYWEEK?
ObesityWeek is the preeminent international conference for obesity researchers and clinicians, featuring the newest developments in evidence‑based obesity science. The meeting showcases cutting‑edge basic and clinical research, state‑of‑the‑art treatment and prevention strategies, and the latest advances in advocacy and public policy.
Because obesity is a complex chronic disease, effective treatment requires a multidisciplinary approach. ObesityWeek brings together the full spectrum of obesity science—from basic research to translational studies and clinical application, to policy and population health. Content spans diet, physical activity, lifestyle, behavioral science, psychology, pharmacotherapy, and medical and surgical interventions. Programming also addresses the unique needs of pediatric, geriatric, and underserved populations.
With more than 250 expert speakers presenting the latest research and clinical best practices, ObesityWeek offers unparalleled access to the most comprehensive obesity science and care innovations available anywhere.
