World Obesity and Weight Management Congress 2026

It was held at Hilton Boston/Woburn, 2 Forbes Road, Woburn, Massachusetts, 01801, USA. The FAQ also stated that virtual attendance was available from anywhere.

The organizer lists healthcare professionals, nutritionists, endocrinologists, researchers, policymakers, and industry leaders in obesity and weight management.

It fits clinicians, nutritionists, endocrinologists and researchers who want a broad sampler of obesity science and care, since the scientific tracks ran from behavioral therapy and digital health with AI to endocrine links and disease mechanisms, and the format included oral and poster presentations alongside workshops. The speaker list leaned toward consultants, small organizations and academic committee members (Purdue, New York Institute of Technology, Lipedema Foundation, AdventHealth) rather than major research centers, so investigators wanting a high-profile clinical trial audience may have found it thinner than a large society meeting. The hybrid option let people who could not travel to the Boston area join remotely, though networking is weaker online.

Attendees at clinical and scientific congresses usually wear business casual, such as slacks and a collared shirt or blouse, with some in a blazer when presenting. Late October in the Boston area is cool, so a light jacket is practical.
