Building Stronger Professional Connections Beyond the Conference

July 4, 2026

The Conversation Doesn't End When the Conference Does

Annual conferences provide valuable opportunities to learn, network, and discover new ideas—but lasting professional relationships are built throughout the year.


AED helps members stay connected through a variety of educational and networking opportunities that extend well beyond conference week.


Staying Connected

Members have access to:

  • Special Interest Groups (SIGs)
  • Community discussions
  • Educational webinars
  • Volunteer leadership opportunities
  • Research collaborations
  • Professional networking events


These opportunities create space for ongoing conversations, idea sharing, mentorship, and professional growth.


A Community That Supports One Another

One of AED's greatest strengths is its interdisciplinary and international community. Members represent a wide range of professional backgrounds while sharing a common goal of advancing evidence-based care.


Whether you're looking to expand your network, collaborate on research, or connect with peers who understand your work, AED provides meaningful opportunities to build lasting professional relationships.


Join the Conversation

Professional growth doesn't happen in isolation. By connecting with colleagues around the world, members gain new perspectives, strengthen their practice, and contribute to the future of eating disorder prevention, treatment, and recovery.
