The organizing committee is very pleased to announce that the president of Iceland, Guðni Th. Jóhannesson, will be the Patron of NEDS conference 2018.

Welcome to the 12th Nordic Congress on Eating Disorder held for the first time in Reykjavik September 12-14th 2018. 

The congress will be hosted by the Icelandic Eating Disorder Association in collaboration with the Nordic Eating Disorder Society. We are proud to introduce Harpa, Reykjavik's new Concert Hall and Conference Centre. Harpa is located in the heart of Reykjavik, overlooking the bay and mount Esja. It is close to most of the congress hotels, art galleries, shopping areas and restaurants. 

The programme will feature plenary lectures, workshops, clinical symposia and posters. 

The theme of the conference will be; Eating Disorder versus Healthy Lifestyle. Eating disorder is characterized by extremes in diet, weight changes and exercise. Where do we draw the line between health and pathology and how can we guide our patients? The theme of this 12th Nordic Congress focuses on these important challenges, and how sociocultural factors influence the presentation of eating disorders and the key roles that social and family factors play in recovery. 

Warm regards from the Organizing Committee.
