Where the Global Obesity Community Meets
ISO events range from the ISO World Congress — our flagship annual gathering of global obesity medicine professionals — to regional workshops, masterclasses, and a continuous program of online webinars and symposia.
All ISO events are designed to deliver the highest quality scientific content in a format that respects clinicians' time. We are building an events calendar that reflects the truly global nature of our membership — with physical events across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and the Americas.
ISO's event calendar is currently being built. The first ISO events are planned for late 2026. Members will receive advance notice of all events and preferential registration rates.
Truly Global
Physical events across Asia, Middle East, Europe, and Americas — not just Western hubs.
Science-First Programming
All scientific programming is curated by ISO's SAC — no commercial bias in session content.
Hybrid-First Design
All major ISO events are designed to be fully accessible to virtual attendees — so geography is never a barrier.
CME Credited
All ISO congresses and major events will carry CME accreditation recognised by international bodies.
ISO Event Portfolio
ISO World Congress
ISO's flagship annual congress — two full days of keynotes, scientific symposia, workshops, poster sessions, and networking events. Planned annually across rotating global venues.
ISO Webinar Series
Monthly live webinars on the most pressing clinical and scientific questions in obesity medicine, hosted by ISO SAC members and leading global experts. All recorded for on-demand access.

Focused one-day symposia on specific topics within obesity medicine — from GLP-1 pharmacotherapy to surgical outcomes to paediatric obesity — held as standalone events or satellite to major congresses.
Early Career Masterclasses
Dedicated events for trainees, residents, and early-career clinicians entering obesity medicine — providing mentorship, skills training, and direct access to ISO's founding leadership.
