Bursary Fund
The Weight Stigma Conference is a not-for-profit event with an extremely limited budget. We keep registration fees as low as possible, but we know that even the concession fees are out of reach for some people with limited financial resources. Since 2016, we have been crowdfunding our Bursary Fund to support those needing financial assistance with their registration fees. In these difficult times, donations are lower than in previous years, which means less people will benefit from a registration bursary. To help more people in need to attend, you can add a donation to your registration fee at the time of registration or click on the button below to donate directly. We would also be incredibly grateful if you could share our fundraising link https://www.gofundme.com/f/WSC2025-bursary-fund with your friends, colleagues, and networks, whether you need a bursary or not.
fat Joy Festival
For those of you planning to attend in-person, why not come a day early and join in the activities at the inaugural Fat Joy Festival, which will be held on 5 July 2025 at the same venue as the Weight Stigma Conference, Griffith University Gold Coast. More details to follow soon!!
Please forward this email to your networks and anyone you think may be interested!
