Meet the Experts Session
Friday, June 9 | 12:45 p.m. – 2:00 p.m.
Terrace 2 on the Second Floor
Do you have specific questions that you would like to discuss with established experts in your field? Are you looking for consultation on clinical cases, practice issues or ethical dilemmas? Are you interested in developing or evaluating an intervention to treat or prevent eating disorders? Do you want advice on writing a grant application or publishing your work? The Meet the Experts session offers an opportunity for informal discussions on these topics.
Attendance is limited, so sign up early. In order to attend this session, we ask that you sign up at the Meet the Experts table, located near the registration area. Please sign up for this event by Friday at 8:30 a.m., or as long as space is available.
Submit your questions for the experts. If you have a specific question to be addressed by experts, complete a “Meet the Experts Question Form” at the Meet the Experts table and deposit it in the basket on the table.
