What is a TypeOneNation Summit?

The TypeOneNation Summit is a free, all-day educational and networking opportunity for the T1D community. The Summit brings together T1D experts to share their knowledge on the latest treatments, breakthroughs in research, and the psycho-social aspects of living (and thriving!) with T1D. Our event will feature talks from leading Breakthrough T1D-funded researchers and other experts in the field, breakout sessions, and a separate Youth Program and Teen Track for children ages 5-18.

Potential topics covered in the talks and breakout sessions include:

 

• Artificial Pancreas Update
• Encapsulation Research
• Glucose Control and Insulin Advances
• Adults with T1D Meet & Greet
• Teen Talk / Transitioning to College
• T1D in School
• Advocacy Updates
• Positive Caregiving

 

In addition, the event will also include a vendor fair with representatives from diabetes medical device companies, insulin manufacturers, diabetes camps, local healthcare providers, and other diabetes related organizations. This event is designed for all ages at all stages and offers something for everyone: parents, children, teens, adults, grandparents, caregivers, school nurses, healthcare providers, and more.
