The Missouri Academy of Family Physicians is excited to announce the Midwest Obesity Symposium, September 12-13, 2025, at the Hermannhof Festhalle in Hermann, Missouri. Nestled on the Missouri River, surrounded by vineyards, and with convenient access to the Katy Trail, this obesity medicine-focused conference will balance education with relaxation.
Unlike most conferences you may have attended, this meeting does not have a hotel or room block attached, as Hermann is known for their quaint lodging choices. Attendees will be responsible for booking their own lodging.
Registration cost for AAFP Members is $225 and $300 for Non-AAFP members.
