International Conference on Obesity and Weight Management (ICOWM - 2026)

The International Conference on Obesity and Weight Management (ICOWM-2026) is an international scientific conference organized by ResearchEra and scheduled to take place on 3 November 2026 in Dammam, Saudi Arabia. The conference is designed to bring together researchers, scientists, practitioners, academicians, research scholars, university professors, students, policymakers, food administrators, agriculture and food councilors, curriculum and technology directors, and other stakeholders with an interest in obesity and weight management. ICOWM-2026 provides a platform for participants to exchange research findings, ideas, professional experiences, and knowledge relating to obesity and weight management. By bringing together participants from academic, scientific, professional, policy, and industry backgrounds, the conference encourages discussion of current research and developments while creating opportunities for participants to gain perspectives from individuals working in different areas of the field. A key component of the conference is interaction with international speakers and other participants. ResearchEra highlights opportunities for delegates to network, exchange ideas, access new and emerging research concepts, and connect with industry experts. These interactions provide opportunities for participants to develop professional relationships and explore potential academic, research, and industry collaborations. Research dissemination is another important element of ICOWM-2026. Participants are provided with opportunities to share their research with an international audience and contribute to discussions surrounding obesity and weight management. The conference’s publication framework includes opportunities for selected papers to be published in reputed indexed journals, including journals indexed in Scopus and Web of Science, subject to the relevant publication conditions. ResearchEra also states that conference proceedings are submitted to platforms such as the World Research Library, Google Scholar, DOAJ, and CiteSeerX for indexing. Printed proceedings are published with ISBN numbers, while papers are assigned Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs), including DOI registration through Crossref. These publication and identification mechanisms are intended to support the accessibility, dissemination, and citation of eligible research contributions. The conference also incorporates a professional-development component. ResearchEra states that participants earn CPD hours through their conference engagement and receive certification for participation. These elements provide attendees with opportunities to document their professional involvement while engaging with research and knowledge relevant to obesity and weight management. ICOWM-2026 further highlights the role of responsible research and global knowledge exchange in supporting the Sustainable Development Goals. By facilitating international interaction among researchers, practitioners, policymakers, academics, students, and industry-related stakeholders, the conference aims to encourage the sharing of knowledge that can contribute to continued discussion and research in obesity and weight management. The conference therefore combines research dissemination, expert interaction, professional networking, industry engagement, publication opportunities, and continuing professional development within an international setting. ICOWM-2026 offers participants an opportunity to present and exchange research, build professional connections, explore new research ideas, and engage with a broader community working across obesity and weight management.
