Agenda
The symposium will bring together national, regional and local thought leaders, policy change advocates, and practitioners working in the field to increase awareness of nutrition and its impact on health. Innovative responses, best practices and practical strategies will be highlighted.
The Keynote
One of the nation’s top experts on childhood obesity, Dr. David Ludwig of Harvard University and Boston Children’s Hospital, is keynote speaker. Described as an “obesity warrior” by Time Magazine, Dr. Ludwig has fought for fundamental policy changes to restrict food advertising directed at young children, improve quality of school nutrition programs and increase insurance reimbursement for obesity prevention and treatment programs.
We hope you will join us in taking a “fresh approach” to the issues and complexities surrounding the intersection of nutrition and health. Purchase your tickets today.
