The Diabetes UK Professional Conference is the UK’s leading event for connecting with healthcare professionals and researchers who are driving meaningful change in diabetes care. It is where the community comes together to share ideas and influence what happens next.
By sponsoring or exhibiting, organisations had the chance to position themselves at the heart of this influential gathering, reaching more than 2,000 engaged delegates from every corner of diabetes care. Attendees were deeply invested and actively seeking the next big thing that could enhance their practice and patient outcomes.
This was more than visibility. It was an opportunity to demonstrate leadership in the field, contribute to critical conversations and build relationships that matter.
Why get involved?
Reach a fresh audience
A third of delegates were first-time attendees – meaning you gained access to a new and growing community.
Your feedback matters
Your involvement helped to shape the future of diabetes care. We incorporated previous event feedback to ensure the 2026 edition was a catalyst for change for everyone in the community.
Forge meaningful connections
We created more opportunities to connect directly with delegates in the Exhibition hall with an increase in Spotlight theatre sessions.
Interested in being involved with our conference?
With an estimated 5.8 million people in the UK living with diabetes and 6 million more at risk, there has never been a more important time to get involved.

The conference brought together one of the most diverse communities in healthcare, with expertise that spans the full landscape of diabetes care. From laboratory research to clinical practice, from hospital wards to community support, delegates represented every part of the journey that transforms care for people living with diabetes.
