World Obesity and Weight Management Congress 2026

The conference was held in hybrid mode at Hilton Boston/Woburn in Boston, Massachusetts, with both in-person and virtual participation options.

Attendees were billed as including healthcare professionals, nutritionists, endocrinologists, researchers, policymakers, and industry leaders in obesity and weight management.

The event was scheduled to feature plenary lectures, oral and poster presentations, interactive workshops, and panel discussions.

Scientific tracks were scheduled to span physical activity and behavioral therapy, digital health and AI in obesity management, diabetes and endocrinology, and obesity causes and pathophysiology.

It was most useful for endocrinologists, nutritionists, researchers and clinicians who wanted research exchange across tracks such as digital health and AI, diabetes and endocrinology, and obesity pathophysiology, with oral and poster presentations alongside plenary lectures. The speaker list leaned on consulting firms, a foundation, a university and a health system rather than large pharma or major academic centers, and a hybrid format with virtual registration from $439 let those who could not travel take part. Senior investigators seeking a flagship venue for high-profile trial data may have gotten less from it.

Clinicians and researchers at medical congresses usually wear business casual, with presenters often in a blazer or suit.

The conference was billed as providing a platform for healthcare professionals, researchers, and industry leaders to connect, exchange ideas, and foster collaborations in obesity research and weight management innovation.
