Lipedema Conference 2026
Lipedema Simplified has been educating the lipedema community since 2013 — and Heart to Heart is virtual by design, because our attendees are international and lipedema doesn’t stop at borders.
Save the dates: October 23, 24, and 25, 2026
The Lipedema and Lymphedema Heart to Heart Conference Event runs October 23–25, 2026, online. Now in its 7th year (our 13th conference), Heart to Heart is a three-day virtual conference for people living with lipedema, lymphedema, and related fat and lymphatic disorders — and for the clinicians and caregivers who support them. Hosted by Lipedema Simplified, the organization that has been building lipedema education and community since before the condition was widely recognized. General Access includes all three days live; Premium Access adds extended Q&A sessions and a replay hub with every recording.
Join our upcoming heart-to-heart virtual congress on October 23-25, 2026. A one-of-a-kind online conference and community event designed to connect, educate, and empower. This immersive virtual event goes beyond traditional presentations, offering highly interactive sessions, breakout discussions, and wisdom-sharing circles where every voice matters.
Guided by global expert speakers and grounded in lived experience, this conference centers the power of community. Patients, clinicians, caregivers, and researchers come together to share insights, explore emerging strategies, and learn from one another in a supportive, collaborative space. As complexity scientist Nick Obolensky describes, true change emerges through simple, meaningful interactions—something this conference event intentionally creates.
As understanding of lipedema, lymphedema, and lipo-lymphedema continues to evolve, this virtual congress event offers a holistic lens on symptom management and healing. Discover what the worldwide community has learned through research, clinical practice, and patient wisdom—and envision what’s possible when knowledge, compassion, and connection come together.
Join us for this heart-centered virtual conference and become part of a global community shaping the future of care.
Lipedema Simplified has been building lipedema education and community since before the condition had a name that any doctor recognized.
