ISBNPA 2009 will start today


This evening the annual meeting of the International Society of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity will start with an opening reception and a keynote lecture Shiriki Kumanyika. ISBNPA 2009 is at a great venue in Cascais, near Lisbon, Portugal. Today four different preconference workshops are ongoing on Introducing Intervention Mapping, conceptualising and measuring the build environment, early career mentoring, and on the role of advocacy in behavioral nutrition and physical activity.
The 2009 annual meeting will set another record; more than 600 delegates will be in Cascais to be informed and discuss the latest research in behavioral nutrition and physical activity. The local organising committee chaired by Pedro Teixeira, and the program committee chaired by the incoming president, Stuart Biddle have done a fantastic job.
