The symposium is a day-long event where authors and professionals interested in the subject of obesity prevention will come together and discuss legal mechanisms that can be used to address this issue. The symposium will also provide an opportunity for professionals looking to tackle this issue in the local community to participate in the panels and ideally implement some of the ideas and suggestions that will come out of the discussions.
