Continuing a long tradition of excellence, the American Diabetes Association's 77th
Scientific Sessions convened the world's leading diabetes researchers, educators, and
health care experts for 5 days of presentations, discussions, and analyses. The program
covered the latest research on all types of diabetes and related conditions, risk factors for
developing diabetes, and new approaches, medications, and technologies for diabetes
prevention and treatment. The meeting drew more than 16,000 participants, including
nearly 13,000 clinicians, scientists, and educators from 112 countries and all 50 states.
The program featured nearly 900 speakers and
more than 2,150 poster presentations, including 50
moderated poster discussions. There were nearly
300 news reports of breakthroughs presented at
Scientific Sessions, with press releases, original news
articles, and preview coverage of the meeting reaching a total potential audience of more than 560 million, putting diabetes front and center
in conversations around the globe.
Although the reach of the meeting was impressive, the real power of each year's
Scientific Sessions goes beyond the numbers. This annual meeting provides unique
opportunities for diabetes professionals to make important connections that advance
science. The program ranges from large sessions with 6,000 attendees to intimate oneon-one conversations at a poster board. Old colleagues reconnect, and new personal
and professional connections are made at every corner of the convention center. These
relationships and exchanges are crucial to advancing the field of diabetes research.
This year's Scientific Sessions featured a tremendous breadth of research and clinical
topics. Following are just a few of the meeting's highlights, which serve as examples
of the many exciting breakthroughs presented at the meeting.
