Join the European Association for the Study of Obesity (EASO), decision-makers and opinion-leaders from Brussels and the EU Member States for a policy conference on ‘Implementing national obesity policies and action plans in Europe’ – taking place in conjunction with European Obesity Day 2017.

More than 100 participants from the European Institutions, Member State health authorities, and leading public health organisations will come together to discuss the need for more effective strategies to address the growing obesity epidemic.

Policymakers, healthcare professionals and patients will be among those who will look at ways to better implement plans and who will consider both the challenges they face and best practice examples.

Presentations will include updated obesity statistics, different prevention and treatment strategies from several EU Member States will be discussed, and policy opportunities such as tackling the obesity epidemic by means of labelling, taxation, and city initiatives will be included.

The one day conference and networking forum offers a unique opportunity to engage with key stakeholders in European healthcare and obesity-related policy making.
