A Capstone Moment in Riyadh Our inaugural Pennington Obesity and Metabolic Disease Symposium exceeded expectations in every dimension. Attendance surpassed projections, bringing together senior consultants, department heads, and emerging physicians from leading institutions across Saudi Arabia and the Gulf—exactly the audience we aimed to engage. Most gratifying was the response afterward: new institutional contacts, requests for follow-up meetings, genuine interest in research collaborations, and multiple calls to repeat this program. None of this happens without exceptional partners. Lilly's support made this possible. SCOPE and the Saudi Society of Endocrinology & Metabolism (SSEM) lent credibility and reach. Co-Chair Dr. Nasreen Alfaris opened doors throughout the Kingdom that would otherwise remain closed to us. Deep thanks also to Course Director Philip Schauer and Donna Ryan for delivering world-class content. This is just the beginning. #Pennington #GlobalHealth #MetabolicHealth #SaudiArabia #SSEM #SCOPE

PENNINGTON MAKES HISTORY We were excited to host our first-ever international symposium—the Pennington Obesity and Metabolic Disease Symposium in Riyadh. This historic program concluded an extraordinary week of partnership-building across the Gulf region, with meetings at Hevolution Foundation, KFSHRC, LEAN, KACST, and Qatar Metabolic Institute establishing Pennington as the premier U.S. partner for the Kingdom's Vision 2030 health transformation. Special recognition goes to Course Director Prof. Philip Schauer, Prof. Donna Ryan, and Co-Chair Dr. Nasreen Alfaris MD, MPH, for their vision, global reputation, and strategic relationships that made this milestone possible. From cells to society. From Louisiana to the world. Supported by Lilly | In cooperation with SCOPE & SSEM #Pennington #MetabolicHealth #SaudiArabia #GlobalHealth #WBTTW #PBRC
