Why ObesityWeek?
We want to make sure the conversation at ObesityWeek includes the access issues that are keeping people obese.
The GLP-1 Collective was originally organizing a DC meetup for the last week of October.
Conversations with key advocates made it clear that pivoting to Atlanta was the right call.
Many of them will already be there and it makes no sense to ask people to travel to DC and then GA 9 days later.
ObesityWeek pulls together the biggest voices in obesity care: clinicians, researchers, policymakers, industry leaders, journalists, and patient advocates.
Our Focus at ObesityWeek:
Who we want to reach: the decision makers and influencers who can actually drive change in healthcare policy and industry priorities.
What we’re aiming for: making affordable GLP-1 access a central part of the conversation, not a side note.
How We’re Making It Happen
When patients and creators stand together, the impact is undeniable. Here’s how we are making it happen:
Daily Advocate Meetups: morning huddles to align messaging and share updates.
Matching T-Shirts: with links to resources.
Targeted Networking: direct conversations with healthcare leaders.
Media Positioning: making sure we’re visible where journalists and the GLP-1 documentary crew are capturing stories.
Social Media Blitz: livestreams, posts, and videos across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, and Facebook to take the message beyond the conference walls.
We’re keeping the spotlight where it belongs: on affordable access to GLP-1s.
In DC, the GLP-1 Collective had planned to hold signs. In Atlanta, we’re taking that visibility and putting it on our backs, literally.
