Up Front in 2012 Traveling to San AntonioThe San Antonio International Airport is approximately 8 miles from the Convention Center. Transportation options to/from the airport include taxis, van share, and public buses.
Visa Information for International AttendeesResearchers, physicians and other healthcare professionals from around the world are invited to attend Obesity 2012. Foreign nationals from some countries must obtain a temporary travel visa (B-1) in order to attend this meeting. This is normally done through the US Embassy or Consulate in their host country. Meeting attendees should visit the US Department of State Business Visa Center at http://travel.state.gov/visa/temp/types/types_2664.html for detailed instructions on visa application procedures. To assist foreign visitors in obtaining visas, The Obesity Society has registered this conference with the Department of State. A letter of invitation for international delegates and additional information on obtaining a US visa are available on The Obesity Society website at www.obesity.org/obesity2012. A copy of the letter of invitation, along with copies of meeting registration and hotel reservation confirmations, will help to speed up the visa application and approval process.
Note: Visa applicants are advised to apply as soon as they decide to travel to the United States. Depending on the country of origin, it may take 3 to 4 months to process visa applications.
Obesity 2012 will be held at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center in San Antonio, Texas. The facility provides more than 60 meeting rooms and over 440,000 square feet of exhibit space. This will provide an excellent setting for scientific and educational sessions and networking activities for our Annual Scientific Meeting.
San Antonio’s culture combines influences from Spanish settlers, Native Americans, neighboring Mexico, and the Old West; together these elements give the city its own unique character. The Convention Center and the 5 official meeting hotels are adjacent to San Antonio’s famous River Walk, which is home to dining options to fit all tastes and budgets, as well as to numerous shops. Additional popular attractions include the Alamo, the Tower of the Americas, SeaWorld, and Six Flags Fiesta Texas.

About the MeetingObesity 2012, the 30th Annual Scientific Meeting of The Obesity Society, brings together the most prestigious professionals in the field of obesity, from world-renowned basic and clinical researchers to educators, advocates and practitioners. Through its scientific, educational, mentoring and networking events, Obesity 2012 is dedicated to increasing knowledge, stimulating research, furthering careers, and promoting prevention and better treatment for those affected by obesity. Attendees will take part in scientific and education sessions, oral and poster presentations, and other programs covering the full interdisciplinary regimen of obesity research, education, advocacy and development, including key lectures from the top professionals in each field.
The program is organized around six thematic tracks:
» Metabolism and Integrative Physiology
» Neuroscience
» Intervention and Clinical Studies
» Population Health
» Clinical and Professional Practice
» Policy
Program Sessions IncludeKey Lectures: Comprehensive, integrative presentations by internationally recognized experts on critically important topics.
Symposia: Lecture presentations that address the latest advances in our understanding of important topics in obesity research, treatment and prevention.
Debates: Speakers will present opposing points of view on topics related to obesity. Presentations will be followed by a panel discussion.
Oral and Poster Presentations: Nearly 900 submitted abstracts describing new research findings will be presented.
Obesity 2012, The 30th Annual Scientific Meeting of The Obesity Society4
Learning ObjectivesAt the conclusion of Obesity 2012, attendees will be able to:
» Apply the latest research findings on the molecular and hormonal pathways that regulate nutrient metabolism in obese patients and influence disease.
» Identify the neuronal basis of satiety and energy utilization that influence body weight during weight gain and weight loss.
» Implement our understanding of how obesity impacts the treatment and risk for diseases such as cancer in the clinical setting.
» Be able to interpret the latest research and methodologies into strategies that will shape our study of obesity prevalence.
» Understand the latest guidelines for obesity treatment and the new methods to improve clinical practice and improve patient care.

Late Breaking Abstracts Due July 13
Late-breaking abstracts present new and high-impact research for which results were not available at the standard abstract deadline. Late-breaking abstracts addressing basic, clinical or population research can be submitted by July 13, 2012 and will be reviewed by each track.
Abstracts representing incremental work that merely missed the standard deadline are unlikely to be accepted for presentation. The work described in abstracts may not be previously published or presented before the date of scheduled presentation (with the exception of the obesity-focused issue of JAMA publishing September 2012).
Late-breaking abstracts may be submitted to any of The Obesity Society’s 2012 Abstract Tracks. All submissions will be reviewed by the Program Committee and only those that are judged to be high impact will be chosen for presentation. Some submissions may be selected for oral presentation and others will be scheduled for poster sessions.
Late-breaking abstracts must be submitted online through www.obesity.org/obesity2012 prior to the deadline of July 13, 2012, 11:59 PM, Eastern Time.

Special EventsWednesday, September 19 and Thursday, September 20
Preconference ProgramWed 2:00 PM – 6:00 PM and Thurs 8:00 AM– 5:00 PM
TOS Review Course for the ABOM ExamThis day and a half workshop covers fundamental topics of the ABOM certifica-tion exam and will be held conveniently the day before Obesity 2012, in the Grand Hyatt San Antonio, TX. The course has been designated for 10 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™ which can count toward the exam’s 60-hour CME requirement. Sug-gestions and strategies will be presented to help you overcome challenges for the actual exam. The educational program/materials will be based on the 10 content domains. Individuals preparing to take the test will have the opportunity to have a general review of the relevant topics that will appear on the certification examination.
Thurs 8:00 AM– 5:00 PM
Pediatric Obesity and Metabolic Syndrome: Prevention and Treatment CourseThis day-long activity is designed for clini-cians and allied health professionals work-ing in a pediatric/ family practice-primary care setting. This program is designed to equip learners with strategies to identify, treat and manage the at-risk-for, over-weight, or obese child, including psycho-logical and environmental concerns. This course has been designated for a maxi-mum of 8 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™.
Thurs 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM
Physical Activity Monitoring Methodologies WorkshopThis program is a must for anyone currently using or interested in using physical activity monitoring methodologies. Hear the ex-perts review the most recent advancements in the field of physical activity monitoring, including the use of NHANES physical activity monitoring data. The course will provide attendees with practical PAM ap-plications within the framework of obesity research and will cover worldwide surveil-lance methodologies and analysis with regards to physical activity and sedentary behaviors distributions.
Thurs 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM
Adipocyte Metabolism WorkshopThis workshop engages basic scientists in cross-disci-plinary discussion of ‘immunometabolism’: the critical impact of leukocytes that infiltrate adipose tissue in the insulin resistant state. Depot-specific differences in adipocyte metabolism are of major significance, and contribute to cardiometabolic risk in a sex-specific man-ner. Strategies to mobilize adipogenic transcriptional pro-grams to shift adipocyte fate from ‘white’ to ‘brown’, with expected metabolic improvements, will be discussed.
Thurs 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM
Genome and Beyond: Taking Advantage of Advances in Genome Science in the Study of Obesity WorkshopThe goal of this workshop is to provide an introduction to obesity researchers who are interested in taking advan-tage of these recent advances in genetic and genomic technologies by providing them an introduction covering key areas of study design and data generation as well as analyses and interpretation.
