From healthier daycares to safe and accessible trails and parks; from improved nutrition at home and in schools to the effects of physical activity and school performance; from school gardens to more active families -- every possible solution will be on the table. View the day's agenda.
ParentsWe are offering you a registration-free summit. We hope many parents can join the effort to prevent and decrease childhood obesity. If you need childcare for the day of the summit please arrange that on your own. We ask that children not attend the summit for the ease of speakers and other attendees.
