The Scientific Sessions of the American Diabetes Association are the world's largest conference dedicated to diabetes, bringing together research, clinical care and innovation. The 2027 meeting takes place in Washington, D.C., where the diabetes professional community gathers to hear the newest basic, clinical and translational research, review the latest care standards from the ADA's Standards of Care in Diabetes, and network with peers.

The meeting welcomes more than 12,000 researchers and clinicians each year, according to the ADA.

• Physicians and endocrinologists
• Cardiologists
• Nurses and diabetes care and education specialists
• Registered dietitian nutritionists

Scientific programme

The programme is built partly from submitted abstracts, and the committee is looking for work that challenges current treatment paradigms. Abstract submission is open until Tuesday, January 5, 2027 at 5:00 PM ET. Sessions, posters and webcasts are covered daily by ADA Meeting News and the onsite ADA TV channel.
