2025 Annual GLOBAL SYMPOSIUM
J.W. Marriott Desert Springs Resort and Spa in Palm Desert, CA
The 2025 iaedp™ Foundation Symposium program is being created by a group of global professionals, like you, who work in therapeutic settings with patients and families facing the challenges of eating disorders. Our goal is to deliver high-quality, evidence-based, and innovative programming that effectively addresses the multi-disciplinary needs of eating disorders professionals and their patients. We welcome and encourage diverse multi-disciplinary submissions in both English and Spanish.
Important information to know before beginning an abstract proposal submission:
- Educational sessions are between 55 – 90 minutes in length.
- Presenters MUST have a master’s degree or higher in mental health, nutrition, social work or a medical-related field. If presenting as a group, at least one of the presenters must have such a degree.
- Individuals are limited to submitting a maximum of two proposals as either a presenter or as a co-presenter.
- Multiple proposals may impact the review process as well as your chances at selection for presentation.
- The person submitting an abstract with multiple presenters must include a correct email address for each presenter at the time of submission.
- Group presentations are limited to a maximum of 3 presenters.
- The person submitting the abstract will be the ONLY person receiving emails regarding the abstract submission and is therefore responsible for notifying all other presenters associated with that submission.

- Presenters must agree to:
- Timely response to an invitation to present,
- Translation of their presentation into different languages,
