VOXED – Voices of eXperience in Eating Disorders

VOXED 2026: Voices of Experience in Eating Disorders

A one day, fully online conference bringing together lived experience, research, practice, community insight, and creativity—on equal ground.

What to Expect:

• A New Kind of Eating Disorder Conference
  VOXED isn’t here to replicating what already exists. We’re building something deliberately different – puting accessibility, openness, and honest dialogue at the core.

  Expect panels, workshops, and creative sessions. You’ll hear from a wide range of voices: lived experience, research, and clinical practice – so that everyone can learn, question, and connect, not in competition but in conversation.

• Equal Voice, Open Dialogue
  Cost and credentials don’t define who belongs here. Whether you’re an eating-disorder specialist, counsellor, GP, youth worker, artist, student, carer, or simply someone who cares, VOXED welcomes you. We trust that listening and conversation spark real change.

Who Should Attend

• Individuals with lived experience
• Carers, families, and supporters
• Therapists, counsellors, and healthcare professionals
• Educators, social workers, and youth workers
• Researchers, academics, and students
• Artists, advocates, and community organisers

If you’ve ever thought, “I care about this but I don’t know if I belong,” you belong here.

Equity, Diversity & Inclusion

VOXED is built on the belief that all kinds of knowledge deserve equal respect. We’re committed to:

• Amplifying Marginalised Voices: Including those from racialised, disabled, neurodivergent, LGBTQIA+, working-class, and other communities.
• Intersectional Perspectives: Holding space for complexity, acknowledging harm and hope, tension and progress.
• Ongoing Accountability: Listening, reflecting, and learning—because true inclusion is a journey, not a promise of perfection
