abstract submissions

You do not need to pay to present your abstract. However, the presenting author must register and pay for an in-person delegate ticket for three days. There is no option to present virtually.

This applies to all presenters, including students and those from low or middle income countries.

We are delighted to offer a limited number of conference grants (up to a maximum of £100 per applicant) to those who have been selected to present their abstract at the conference and are members of Diabetes UK. These are intended to assist with travel and accommodation requirements to attend the conference. As a charity we want our conference grants to support as many people as we can. Where you can, please help us to do so by selecting more cost effective travel and accommodation options. 

As part of your conference grant application, you will be required to upload a verification letter from your Head of Department/Manager, this must be completed before starting your application. An example letter is available to be downloaded here. Additionally, you must have already registered for the Diabetes UK Professional Conference 2026 as a Diabetes UK professional member. If you have yet to register for conference you can do so by clicking here. If you need to purchase professional membership, you can do this on our website. 

Closing date for grant applications is 5pm, Friday, 20 February 2026.

Unfortunately, there is no option to present abstracts virtually, regardless of the presentation method it has been allocated to.

All submitting authors must formally confirm acceptance and inform us of any changes to the presenting author by completing an acceptance form. The deadline to confirm acceptance is Monday 12 January 2026. If you are unable to access the form, you can confirm acceptance by emailing diabetesuk.abstracts@wonderly.agency.

The Programme Committee makes the final decision on the presentation type. If you no longer wish to present your work as a physical poster display only, please inform us by contacting diabetesuk.abstracts@wonderly.agency immediately so that we can withdraw your submission.

Any edits to co-authors must be made up until the abstract submission deadline, Thursday 9 October 2025, 23:59 (BST). However, If you would like to amend the details of the presenting author, please email diabetesuk.abstracts@wonderly.agency by Monday 12 January 2026. 

You do not need to pay to display your poster. However, in order to present your poster you must register and pay for an in-person delegate ticket. For poster presentation (with or without a scheduled talk), attendance is required across all three days due to the physical poster display. There is no option to present a poster virtually.

This applies to all physical poster presenters, including students and those from low or middle income countries.

If you cannot attend the conference to present your abstract, you will be able to send a co-author in your place. Please inform us as soon as possible if there is a change in presenting author by contacting diabetesuk.abstracts@wonderly.agency by Monday 12 January 2026. Please include your abstract submission ID and the name, email address and organisation for your replacement presenter.

Please note that your replacement presenter cannot be already presenting a poster of their own. We have a strict policy of one poster display per presenter.

We are only able to provide invitation letters to individuals who have already registered and paid to attend the conference. If a letter of invitation is required to support your visa please contact us at diabetesuk.abstracts@wonderly.agency once you have registered.

You have the option to either use the poster template provided in the submission outcome email or produce your poster from scratch. If you are producing your poster from scratch we recommend building your poster in either PowerPoint or Publisher before converting to a PDF. 

• Go to File, Save As.
• Enter your file name, ‘Abstract ID – Abstract Tile’ recommended
• From the Save as type dropdown menu, select PDF (.pdf).
• Click Save.

Please refer to your abstract outcome email for full details on poster specifications. We have included a few important specifications below:

• Your poster must be portrait not landscape and A0 size
• Make sure your poster is a single page only
• We recommend a clear, generic font at least 18px size.
• Avoid text in capital letters - this slows up the reading process. A sans serif font (e.g. Arial) is easiest to read on posters.
• Keep statistics simple - a graph or chart is much better than tabled material and the former should make one statement at a time
• Remember that posters are primarily visual. Make your poster attractive. A few contrasting colours can help. Make use of illustrations, pictures, diagrams and large tables as much as possible. Large amounts of typewritten text are not easy to observe.
• Your abstract title, affiliation and author list should be clearly represented at the top of your poster. Any references and any conflicts of interest should be listed at the bottom. You may wish to list funding sources within your poster. We encourage an acknowledgement to Diabetes UK for any posters that are funded or part funded by Diabetes UK.
• You may wish to consider looking at our Presenting with impact guide which provides useful hints and tips for making your presentation more engaging. We also strongly encourage you to consider Language Matters when producing your presentation. A link to our editorial guidelines is available in your abstract outcome letter and on our website.
• Divide the data clearly as follows:

• All other categories: Background, Methods, Results, Conclusion
• Case reports: Background, Case presentation, Discussion, Conclusion

• Remember that conclusions are usually read first. It is the interest generated by a well-written conclusion that provides the motive for more detailed study of your subject matter.

Physical posters will be displayed on poster boards in the exhibition hall in Liverpool. Please refer to your submission outcome email to see which zone/board your poster has been allocated. 

It is the responsibility of the poster presenter to produce and print a suitable A0 poster for presentation. A thick paper stock, such as 200-350gsm is best to ensure durability. 

We recommend checking the print lead time with your chosen supplier in advance, to ensure your poster will be ready in time for the conference. 

During designated breaks, poster presenters should be available to stand by their poster to discuss their work and answer delegate questions. A card will be provided for presenters to indicate their availability during the breaks, allowing attendees to know when they can speak with them.
