WelCOme messaGeDear Colleagues,

Planning is under way for the 6th Canadian Obesity Summit – a unique interdisciplinary conference designed to share current understanding of the causes, complications, treatments and prevention approaches for obesity.

The Summit is as much a networking event as it is a cutting-edge research conference, and it also features dedicated tracts for health practitioners and inspiring workshops organized by groups working in the obesity space. In 2019, Obesity Canada plans to welcome 650+ delegates to the The Westin Ottawa.

Watch for abstract submission and registration dates – the Summit sells out quickly!

Multidisciplinary focus for all areas of interest:

• Prevention and Public Health• Treatment & Management• Psychology & Mental Health• Environments Conducive to Healthy Lifestyles• Diet, Physical Activity & Healthy Living• Maternal & Fetal Origins

The 6th Canadian Obesity Summit will be the premier learning and networking event for:

• Health professionals• Researchers• Policy makers• Industries related to obesity prevention & management• Media

We look forward to welcoming you to Banff, Alberta.

With kind regards,

Arya M. Sharma MD, PhD, FRCPC,Scientific Director, Obesity CanadaProfessor and Medical Director Obesity Strategy, University of Alberta, Edmonton, AB

• Health Law & Health Policy• Molecular Biology, Genetics & Physiology• Neuroscience of Ingestive Behaviour• Advertising to Children & School Programs• Weight Bias & Discrimination

The program was incredibly well done.

The schedule was well organized to ensure that topics didn’t overlap, so we didn’t have to miss

anything.

I always enjoy the networking aspect, as I can meet others doing

similar work in other areas of Canada. The content

of the speakers reinforces best practices in obesity

management.

The Summit is not like most conferences. It’s a relaxed setting where

you can learn, meet new people and share the

work you are doing. And it’s always a lot of fun.

“If you work in obesity prevention or manage-ment in Canada, you

can’t miss the Summit.”

The Summit provides a unique platform to share and learn about the latest prevention and treatment

research — and also to meet and learn from the professionals who put that research to work.
