If you’re an ADA member registered for the Scientific Sessions, you will also have access to several networking activities Friday through Monday, June 12-15. ADA’s Interest Group Leadership Teams have been hard at work planning virtual networking events, which will allow members to linger virtually at the back of the lecture hall discussing new research, share perspectives on a variety of hot topics in diabetes, and contribute to the future planning of ADA’s Interest Group activities.

If you’re a member registered for the Scientific Sessions, you will receive an email from [email protected] in the next few days with information about how you can sign up for the following networking opportunities:
