Lipedema Canada is making history in 2026 with its first national conference. This is a groundbreaking event designed to unite patients, advocates and healthcare professionals in building a stronger, more informed lipedema community from the ground up.
The conference will set the foundation for lipedema education, access to care for patients, and the groundwork for Canadian policy. Opportunities include first-class research presentations and hands-on learning to perform assessments for diagnosis on real patients with support from world leaders in the field.
For too long, this challenging health condition has been misunderstood and underrepresented. The conference is our chance to change that. Together, we will empower individuals and help transform healthcare across Canada. Join us for this pivotal moment – where collaboration begins, voices unite and the future of lipedema care begins.
