- Be part of a national networking event. Whether it's during panel discussions or in lobby conversations, there's an opportunity to meet hundreds of people who are professionals in the field of eating disorders.
- Plan ahead to maximize time and experience with the iaedp™ mobile application, a free interactive tool that makes it easy for attendees to plan and participate in the 2019 iaedp™ Symposium.

(A special note is that there will be a Spanish translator live during the Core Courses and Keynote sessions.)
