ICDAM is the only international conference solely devoted to improving methods and measures for both diet and physical activity. All surveillance studies monitoring diet or activity, and all epidemiologic studies examining those factors in relation to health, depend on the strength of the assessment methods.   

Originally, ICDAM was known as the International Conference on Dietary Assessment Methods. Because two key concerns in dietary research—obesity and energy balance—also relate to physical activity, assessing measures of physical activity was a theme of the 2006 conference. Afterward, the planning committee decided to continue to include physical activity as a focus for future conferences, modifying the name to the International Conference on Diet and Activity Methods.

At each of the previous meetings, there have been more than 300 participants (sometimes over 500), representing over 30 countries. ICDAM 2020 marks the tenth conference and the second time ICDAM has been held in the Netherlands.
