Learn About Research Breakthroughs at Utah Community Summit

in

We invite you and the Utah T1D community to join us on the evening of Thursday, February 20 at the Megaplex Theatres at Jordan Commons for a free Community Summit!

Learn more about who Breakthrough T1D is and how we serve the greater T1D community. You’ll also have opportunities to connect with fellow members of your T1D community and hear about the broader experiences of life with the disease from those who get it.

So what can I expect on event day?

  • Major research updates! Our keynote speaker is Chris German, Utah Board Member and Mission Information Volunteer. His presentation is titled “T1D Research Breakthroughs: No and On the Horizon.” He’ll be sharing information on the exciting discoveries Breakthrough T1D-funded researchers have uncovered in the past year and what future breakthroughs we have to look forward to.
  • Mission moments! Hear exciting details about how you can have a direct impact on Breakthrough T1D’s mission.
  • Vendor fair! You’ll have a chance to visit with leading industry partners. You’ll also be able to chat with Breakthrough T1D staff and volunteers about the various programs and resources we offer.
  • Special giveaways! We’ll have games and contests where you’ll have a chance to win some cool Breakthrough T1D-branded swag.

When should I plan to be there?

We encourage guests to begin arriving at 5:30pm, so you have time to visit the vendor fair and participate in our contests before programming begins at 6:15pm.

Will there be food?

While there will not be dinner provided, we will have yummy snacks and beverages, including gluten-free options.

How do I secure my spot?

Register yourself and anyone else joining you here! You’ll also be able to read more about the speakers and vendors joining us on event day.

Do you need volunteers?

We do have volunteer opportunities available! Learn more about those here.
