<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><p>In the past 12-18 months I’ve seen the number of lipoedema educational conferences and events increase rapidly which is a really encouraging sign. Some events are patient-centric, providing women with lipoedema the opportunity to connect, share and learn. Others are more geared towards medical education for clinicians.</p>
<p>Here’s a list of lipoedema conferences and events in 2025 that I’ve come across around the world so far – it’s not exhaustive by any stretch, these are just the events that I have come across in my day to day work and research so far.</p>
