STOCK CONFERENCES
The Stock Conferences are a series of meetings initiated by World Obesity (formerly IASO) in 2002 to commemorate the lifetime research contribution of Dr. Mike Stock. The aim of the meeting is to bring together a small group of specialists, including a number of junior researchers, to discuss a focused obesity-related topic.
This unique format and the resulting spirit of open discussion is a tribute to Dr. Stock’s valued role as an educator and his enthusiasm for debating scientific issues, ideas and hypotheses.

Our next Stock Conference will take place in Sydney, Australia on 31 March - 1 April 2017.
