Welcome Letter

Dear Colleagues,

We are excited to invite you to the 3rd edition of the Cardiovascular, Renal, Metabolic, Liver, and Obesity Conference (CaReMeLO 2026), taking place in Munich, Germany, on 8-9 May 2026.

Following the tremendous success of the second edition of the CaReMeLO conference in Warsaw in 2025, which saw over 1000 participants, we are building on this momentum to further empower family physicians in the comprehensive management of cardiovascular, renal, metabolic, liver and obesity conditions. In 2026, This upcoming conference will continue to highlight the pivotal role of family physicians in the integrated management of cardiometabolic, renal, liver, and obesity-related conditions, offering the latest scientific insights, practical tools, and international perspectives tailored to primary care.

This year, we are placing a greater emphasis on cutting-edge therapies and in addition, we will be highlighting the critical role of vaccination in high-risk populations—an often under-addressed but essential aspect of managing cardiometabolic and liver diseases.

The 2026 edition promises to deliver an even more dynamic and impactful experience, incorporating feedback from last year. Expect more interactive sessions, practical real world case studies, and enriched networking opportunities, as well as deeper explorations of the latest treatments and innovations in managing obesity and liver disease.

This conference is vital for family physicians, general practitioners, nurse practitioners, and specialists in endocrinology, cardiology, and nephrology. If you are involved in managing patients with cardiometabolic and obesity syndromes, this event is designed for you.

Join us in Munich to explore innovative strategies and strengthen your expertise in managing CaReMeLO syndromes. This is your opportunity to make a lasting impact on patient care and outcomes. Stay tuned for more details about this essential event for primary care providers and specialists.

We eagerly anticipate welcoming you to CaReMeLO 2026 in Munich!
