The 85th Scientific Sessions of the American Diabetes Association® (ADA) will be four days of education and engagement surrounding the latest advancements in diabetes research, care, and prevention.

The world’s largest diabetes conference will take place June 20–23 at the McCormick Place Convention Center in Chicago. Registration is underway, and advance registration rates are available through May 8.
“The ADA’s Scientific Sessions showcases the full spectrum of diabetes science, from fundamental discoveries to preclinical research, clinical trials, and emerging therapies and technologies,” said Marlon Pragnell, PhD, the ADA’s Vice President of Research and Science. “It’s thrilling to see new ideas emerge—how groundbreaking research presented in the session rooms and Poster Hall can progress to clinical studies and ultimately become therapeutic interventions that improve lives. Many of these life-changing innovations are on display in the Exhibit Hall, where attendees can see firsthand how science translates into real-world solutions.
“Attendees can dive deep into their areas of expertise while also gaining valuable insights across disciplines, broadening their understanding of the latest advances in diabetes research and care. With dynamic discussions spanning fundamental science to late-breaking clinical trials, this meeting is an unparalleled opportunity to connect, learn, and help drive what’s next in diabetes,” Dr. Pragnell continued.
Several symposia will highlight late-breaking clinical trial data. Each session is 90 minutes.
