Call for 2027 Speakers

Call for Educators & Presenters

2027 Training & Education Series

The Los Angeles Eating Disorder Collective (LAEDC) is accepting proposals for our 2027 Training & Education Series.

LAEDC was founded to build a stronger, more connected eating disorder community by making high-quality education more accessible. We believe that meaningful learning happens when students, early-career professionals, generalist providers, and eating disorder specialists have opportunities to learn from one another.

Our goal is to reduce barriers to eating disorder education, strengthen interdisciplinary collaboration, and expand access to evidence-informed, weight-inclusive care. We welcome presenters who share our commitment to making eating disorder knowledge more accessible to the professionals who need it most.

Amplifying diverse voices 

Opportunities

In-Person Continuing Education (CE) Events

LAEDC will host three live CE events in the Los Angeles area during 2027.

We welcome presentations on a wide range of eating disorder topics, including assessment, treatment, body image, trauma, ARFID, binge eating disorder, medical considerations, cultural humility, interdisciplinary care, and emerging research.

Presentation Length: 60-90 minutes

LAEDC Learning Library

We are also expanding the LAEDC Learning Library, an on-demand collection of recorded educational presentations.

The Learning Library supports clinicians at every stage of their careers, from professionals new to eating disorder work to experienced specialists seeking advanced training. Our vision is to create an accessible resource that helps bridge gaps in eating disorder education and makes specialized knowledge available beyond traditional conferences and graduate programs.

We are especially interested in building a strong collection of recordings on inclusive care and eating disorder education for eating disorder specialists and non-specialists alike. We also welcome presentations on GLP-1 medications, weight-inclusive care, foundational eating disorder education, advancing treatment approaches, and other topics that would strengthen the library.

Selected Learning Library presentations may be offered for CE credit, while others will be included as educational resources.

Presentation Length: 45-90 minutes
