Connect, Learn, Advance

ISO events bring the global obesity medicine community together — for scientific exchange, clinical education, and the collaborative energy that drives real progress.

About ISO Events

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.
