WELCOME MESSAGE

On behalf of the Annual Meeting Committee, it is an honor to officially welcome you to the ISBNPA 2026 Annual Meeting.

We are thrilled to see our global community of researchers, practitioners, and advocates come together once again. This meeting is the heartbeat of our Society—a dedicated space where we move beyond the data on our screens to engage in the vibrant, face-to-face exchange of ideas that drives the field of behavioral nutrition and physical activity forward.

Our Shared Vision

This year’s program reflects the urgency and evolution of our field. From the smallest behavioral “nudges” to large-scale systemic shifts, we are here to explore how our collective evidence can create a healthier, more equitable world. Over the coming days, we invite you to:

• Engage with cutting-edge science during our plenary sessions and symposia.
• Challenge existing paradigms through spirited debate and collaborative workshops.
• Connect with colleagues from across the globe, sparking the partnerships that will lead to the breakthroughs of tomorrow.

Let the Journey Begin

Whether you are here to present your latest findings, learn from the pioneers of our field, or mentor the next generation of scientists, your presence is what makes this meeting a success. We encourage you to immerse yourself in the sessions, participate in the social events, and take full advantage of the wealth of knowledge gathered here.

Thank you for being a part of this journey. We look forward to an unforgettable few days of discovery, inspiration, and community. 

With warm regards,
