Dear Colleagues and IFSO Members,
It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the XXIX IFSO World Congress 2026 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
This year’s theme, “The Future of ObesityManagement: From Weight Loss to Health Gain” highlights a pivotal shift in managing metabolic conditions, from a focus on weight reduction toward comprehensive health improvement and the effective resolution of comorbidities.
The Congress will unite global leaders from diverse disciplines, including bariatric and metabolic surgeons, medical specialists, allied healthcare providers, researchers, and industry innovators, to redefine best practices in medical and surgical treatments, ultimately improving patient outcomes and enhancing quality of life.
Set against Toronto’s dynamic and multicultural backdrop, the Congress offers attendees the opportunity to experience iconic landmarks such as the CN Tower, the beautiful waterfront, culturally rich neighborhoods, and internationally renowned museums and galleries. We warmly invite you to actively participate in engaging scientific sessions, innovative workshops, interactive pre-congress courses, and valuable networking opportunities.
Together, let’s embrace this transformative approach to bariatric care—one that transcends weight loss, aiming instead for meaningful and lifelong patient wellness.
We look forward to welcoming you to Toronto as we collectively shape the future of metabolic healthcare.
