The conference, held this year Nov. 16-19 in Grapevine, Texas, drew about 4,500 attendees virtually and in person last year.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Virtual attendance features access to keynotes, breakout sessions, virtual networking and more than 200 research abstracts, as well as unique features like exclusive backstage interviews with keynote speakers, a virtual exhibit hall and digital scavenger hunt. Virtual attendees can earn up to 45.25 credit hours of CME, CNE, CPE, CPEU, and CE if claimed within 60 days following the conference, though access to the recorded presentations is available for one year.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Virtual conference attendance also fulfills the required 20 hours of CE from an approved event to be eligible to take the <a href=\"https:\/\/lifestylemedicine.org\/certification\/certification-for-professionals\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">lifestyle medicine certification exam. <\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe depth and breadth of the content, the caliber of the speakers and accessibility of the world-class faculty made it incredibly enriching,\u201d said Anthea Nwandu, MD, MPH, FACP, DipABLM, of Baltimore, Md., who attended virtually for the first time in 2023. \u201cThe virtual format allowed me to engage at my own pace, revisit sessions and still feel connected to the lifestyle medicine community globally.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a behind-the-scenes look at what goes into the virtual broadcast, ACLM asked the conference\u2019s virtual emcee, Jonathan Bonnet, MD, MPH, FAAFP, FACLM, DipABLM, what makes the online experience unique and valuable.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Event Where Health Transformation Happens | LM2025 Nov 16-19, 2025\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lIYOAjBmuNo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-q-this-is-your-second-year-as-virtual-emcee-what-do-you-enjoy-about-it-nbsp-nbsp-nbsp\"><strong>Q: This is your second year as virtual emcee. What do you enjoy about it?&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A: I had a blast last year creating the videos, interviewing experts, and trying to find ways to engage with the virtual audience. In-person attendance can be challenging\u2014from the travel, to the costs, to the availability, it can be tough! The virtual option solves a lot of that, making it more convenient, affordable, and accessible. Like in-person attendees, the virtual audience wants to learn, network and experience the conference\u2019s energy. We put together some silly promos and do our best to make it fun, energizing and bring them into the lifestyle medicine community, even if they can\u2019t be physically there.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-q-what-do-you-see-as-the-biggest-benefit-of-virtual-attendance-nbsp-nbsp\"><strong>Q: What do you see as the biggest benefit of virtual attendance?&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A: To me, it\u2019s the flexibility to watch or listen to the content on <em>your<\/em> schedule. You can still spend half a day with patients or tune in during your administrative time. If you\u2019re busy with kids and family activities, you could watch later at night, listen on the drive to work, or listen while on a walk. There are just a lot more options for how you consume the material that fit nicely into very busy work schedules and lifestyles.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-q-what-are-some-of-your-favorite-virtual-features-nbsp-nbsp-nbsp\"><strong><\/strong><strong>Q: What are some of your favorite virtual features?&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A: Probably the backstage interviews with the keynote speakers. As soon as they finish their presentation, we steal them for a five-minute backstage Q&amp;A. Last year, it was special to interview a good friend and colleague\u2013and now the ACLM President-elect\u2013Dr. Michelle Hauser. We had served on the ACLM board together and worked in the same clinic for years at the Palo Alto VA. I know how passionate she is about culinary medicine and finding ways to improve access to healthy food and teach people how to create delectable, healthy dishes at home.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m sure the audience appreciated some of the bloopers, too. We had a technical mix-up with the \u201clive\u201d lights. Who would have thought green means off and red means on? That was my fault! Will try and get the colors coordinated this year though!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-q-how-do-attendees-network-in-a-virtual-format-nbsp\"><strong>Q: How do attendees network in a virtual format?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A: It\u2019s actually easy! One of the fun things about emceeing last year was hearing from so many people across the world. Many were people I didn\u2019t know before they reached out after seeing me as the emcee. There are countless ways to connect and exchange ideas. You can connect with attendees and speakers through the conference app, over email, through ACLM\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/connect.lifestylemedicine.org\/home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Connect<\/a> community, and through LinkedIn and other social media outlets. If you are friendly and open, most people are generally happy to connect and exchange ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-any-other-thoughts-to-share-nbsp-nbsp\"><strong>Any other thoughts to share?&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While anyone can benefit from the virtual attendance, ACLM has made it very convenient and affordable for trainees to attend. They have a special discounted price of $99, as well as scholarships available too. It\u2019s a great way to get exposed to lifestyle medicine and hopefully be inspired to join in-person next year.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The other aspect of lifestyle medicine that I love is that all this information doesn\u2019t just translate to patient care\u2013it\u2019s information we all can use in our own lives. So even if you join just to take better care of your own health, that\u2019s fantastic! How you apply lifestyle medicine in your own life will eventually spread and permeate the care and advice you provide to others.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column has-background is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"border-radius:10px;background:linear-gradient(135deg,rgb(247,244,237) 0%,rgb(247,244,237) 100%)\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-virtual-attendance-at-lm2025-is-for-anyone-on-the-care-team-who-wishes-to\"><strong>Virtual attendance at LM2025 is for anyone on the care team who wishes to:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Learn evidence-based strategies<\/strong>&nbsp;that incorporate the full suite of lifestyle medicine pillars into practice<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Earn CME\/CNE\/CE\/CPE\/MOC credits:<\/strong>&nbsp;Discover why lifestyle medicine is the foundation of healthcare.<br \/>Attendees have 30 to 60 days to claim credits from livestream and on-demand recordings<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Stay informed without interruption:<\/strong>&nbsp;Acquire practical knowledge and explore the latest research without having to pause busy schedules or travel away from home.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>1-year access:<\/strong>&nbsp;Utilize evidence-based presentations and tools well after the live online event<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Virtual networking:<\/strong>&nbsp;Connect with thousands of dedicated health professionals<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"block_6cb7e90e7b04caa1bc5b026d785646e9\" class=\"wrapper__buttons flex flex-mob-col flex-ai-c flex-mob-jc-c none\">\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/lifestylemedicine.org\/conference-events\/lm2025-online\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"button\"><span>Register Now for LM2025<\/span><\/a>            <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-about-the-author\">About the author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized has-custom-border\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/lifestylemedicine.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/ACLM-Alex-Branch-300x300.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Aclm Alex Branch 300x300.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-22219\" style=\"border-radius:10px;aspect-ratio:1;object-fit:cover;width:200px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lifestylemedicine.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/ACLM-Alex-Branch-300x300.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/lifestylemedicine.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/ACLM-Alex-Branch-300x300.jpg-150x150.webp 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p><strong>Alex Branch<\/strong> is the director of communications for the American College of Lifestyle Medicine (ACLM).

ACLM provides live and online CME- and CE-accredited educational offerings, board certification, clinical practice tools, patient education resources, economic research, networking opportunities, and advocacy support to our members.
