“More than Meets the Eye: How Unseen Factors Impact Nutrition & Health“
Four years ago we had a BIG idea. What if we could throw a nutrition conference in Los Angeles and talk about the important issues that are not being addressed at the state and national conferences?
What if we could lead the discussion that would pave the way for future nutrition professionals? What if there was WAY more to it than most people think? And thus the conversation was BORN. Each year we have been sold out, and this year will be the most epic yet!
On behalf of LAD – Los Angeles District of California Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics I am THRILLED to announce our line-up this year for our VIRTUAL EVENT “More than Meets the Eye: How Unseen Factors Impact Nutrition and Health” on Friday July 31, 2020.
If you have an interest in nutrition, join us for a full day of cutting edge information plus networking with like-minded individuals. We are offering 4 CPEs for Registered Dietitian Nutritionists. If you’re a student, intern, aspiring nutritionist, or just have a general interest in learning more about where the future of our field is headed, this event is for you!
