Diabetes Congress

The Diabetes Congress, organized by the German Diabetes Association (DDG), is a pivotal event that will take place at the CityCube Berlin. This congress marks the 60th iteration of the event, which annually attracts around 6,000 participants, primarily from German-speaking countries. The theme of the congress, "Revolution of Means – Reality of People," aims to explore the complex interplay between medical advancements and the actual experiences of individuals living with diabetes. This congress seeks to reflect on the effectiveness of new therapies, the personalization versus standardization of treatment approaches, and the integration of digitalization and artificial intelligence with a human touch. Key topics will include measuring progress in diabetes treatment, prioritizing quality of life, and sharing responsibilities across social, political, and interdisciplinary perspectives.
The event promises to be a rich platform for knowledge sharing, offering current scientific contributions, practical continuing education opportunities, and stimulating discussions that encourage networking and promote young talent. Over three and a half days, attendees will engage with experts from research, clinical practice, and academia through a variety of formats, including symposia, workshops, poster presentations, and free lectures. The congress aims to provide insights into the latest scientific developments and future perspectives on diabetes mellitus, healthcare research, prevention, and treatment strategies. It will also be held as a hybrid event, allowing both online and in-person participation. The congress is organized alongside a trade exhibition and industry symposia, managed by m:con mannheim:congress GmbH. The DDG Board, led by Prof. Barbara Ludwig, expresses gratitude to all contributors shaping this congress and looks forward to welcoming participants in Berlin.
