The 5th Biennial Childhood Obesity Conference will provide an overview of the most pressing childhood obesity issues, including structural issues that impact food access, nutrition, physical activity and the physical environment. It will showcase presentations on topics of national interest including research and evaluation; community and family perspectives; pre-school, schools and after-school programs; nutrition and physical education; policy and environmental change strategies; and clinical management and resources.

This year’s conference promises more workshops, mini plenaries and networking opportunities than ever before! Over the course of three days, attendees will have the opportunity to hear from over 100 leading experts from around the country.

CANFIT and the California Center for Civic Participation will host a Youth Pre-Conference with youth from all over California on June 10th. For more info, please visit the Childhood Obesity Conference website.
