The 80th Scientific Sessions is Going Virtual!

The health and safety of our attendees and exhibitors is of the utmost importance to the American Diabetes Association (ADA), which is why we have made the decision to transition the 2020 Scientific Sessions from a live, in-person meeting to a virtual meeting on June 12-16.

We are committed to transforming this year’s gathering into a virtual experience designed to bring forth the latest, groundbreaking science that you have come to expect, while also reflecting on 80 incredible years of advances.

• You will have the opportunity to chat live with the speakers during their presentations (during the original scheduled times) to get all your questions answered.
• Don’t let time zones or your schedule hinder you from registering. All sessions will be pre-recorded and will be released during the original scheduled times and will be available in an On Demand format after that to view at anytime you wish. In addition, all registered attendees will receive unlimited access to all virtual content for 90-days after the meeting. Learn on your own time and terms—from the comfort of your home, office, while traveling, or wherever you choose!

We look forward to seeing you, virtually, in June!
