#dedoc° symposium

“What we wish you knew — and why”

Our #dedoc° symposia are part of the official program of diabetes conferences, following the title “What we wish you knew — and why”. As part of our #dedoc° voices scholarship program, they place people with diabetes at the center, allowing them to talk to the audiences of diabetes conferences, such as healthcare professionals, researchers and industry representatives, on topics relevant to the diabetes community.

#dedoc° symposia take place on-site at diabetes conferences across the globe. Additionally, they are streamed live to this website, YouTube and Facebook — outside of the usual paywall of scientific conferences. This exemption allows us to invite the diabetes online community around the globe to watch and engage in real time.
