Our first ever Topic Meeting took place at the Newcastle United Football Club, Newcastle upon Tyne. This year’s theme was Obesity: a physiological perspective. With over 200 attendees, 20 symposia and 80 poster presentations, it is safe to say that the meeting was highly successful and well attended.

The conference took us on a journey into the complex nature of obesity. Topics range from causes of obesity, obesity during pregnancy and metabolic and cardiovascular consequences of obesity, to mechanisms underlying the physiology of appetite control, as well as the impact of obesity on society and possible lifestyle interventions to challenge obesity.

We are looking forward to seeing you at our next Topic Meeting, on Ageing and Degeneration, which will take place on 10–12 April 2015 in Edinburgh.
