Across Australia, moments that bring people together remind us how important clear communication, shared knowledge and connection can be.

That same spirit has been clear across the ADEA State Conferences, where CDEs, diabetes health professionals, members and colleagues came together to learn, share and strengthen diabetes education in practice.

This August, we look forward to carrying that energy into IDF–WPR 2026, ADC 2026 and Metabolic Diseases 2026 in Melbourne.

The congress is another opportunity for our community to reconnect, contribute and be part of conversations shaping the future of diabetes care and education.
