Why Come to IRD?

Among the most inspiring, uplifting experiences for TOPS members is attending International Recognition Days, known simply as IRD. Nonmembers are also welcome to attend IRD and see what being part of the TOPS family is all about.

Highlights of IRD include crowning the International King and Queen and runners up and the KOPS Circle of Light that recognizes members who have maintained their weight loss—some for 50 years or more. Main features also include lively educational sessions as well as opportunities to make friends and meet people from all over the United States and Canada.
