Dear Colleagues and Friends,

We are very excited to welcome you to the first World Congress on Lipedema in Potsdam, Germany from October 5-7, 2023, and are counting on you to share your latest knowledge, experiences, and ideas. Our common goal is to benefit from first-hand, high-class education, network, and learn from world-renowned experts about the latest science and best practices in the management of lipedema.
