The conference theme, Building Blocks to Understanding, focusses on the different elements that can help us better understand the causes, maintaining factors and treatments elements of Eating Disorders.
The Keynote speakers will be Dr. Cynthia M. Bulik from the University of North Carolina and the Karolinska Institute, whose is a world leader on many of the building blocks of eating disorders, from genetics to psychosocial, and is also a brilliant and inspiring speaker.
