Our Meet & Greet Parties are always one of the highlights at our conferences. Past attendees will agree one of their most treasured moments of a Bariatric Connect Conference is spending time with friends. Whether you’ve been friends for years, meeting your long-time online friends in person for the first time, or making NEW friends, the Meet & Greet Party is the perfect setting to connect!
The Meet & Greet, sponsored by Total Lipedema Care, is also a costume party! While dressing up is not mandatory, many attendees like to get creative with their costumes. Over the years, we’ve seen so many amazing costumes! People have dressed as protein shakes, Ursula from Little Mermaid, Dorothy and the Tinman, the Sanderson Sisters from Hocus Pocus, and even the French KISS. We absolutely look forward to seeing all of your amazing and unique costumes this year. So let your imagination run wild and tap into your creative side!
There will be an exciting costume contest and of course, great prizes ($700 Worth) plus a fantastic Grand Prize from our Meet & Greet Platinum Sponsor, Total Lipedema Care! Here are the categories and prizes:
Best Overall Costume, $200 gift card
Best Group Costume, $250 gift card
Best Duo Costume, $100 gift card
Scariest Costume, $50 gift card
Funniest Costume, $50 gift card
Most Creative Costume, $50 gift card
I think it’s great that a group of strangers came together to share a common goal to attend the OH conference and participate in the costume party as a team. We are part of a supportive community where acceptance, friendship, and wellness are the goal. We support and encourage each other through the process. - Lilia S-G., Bariatric Beauties
When we won the prize, it meant the world to us because it reminded us that we are still worth fighting for. - Samira B., Bariatric Beauties
I love coming to the meet and greets to see all of my support group friends and all the new friends I just made. Developing these friendships and supporting each other is one of the best parts of OH. - Connie W.
I spent the night singing, dancing, taking in all the amazing costumes, doing selfies and laughing! The entire conference was absolutely amazing, filled with so much information, products, and for me so many new experiences! I so can’t wait till next year! - Rachelle W.
