2022 TypeOneNation Summit Meet & Greet – Utah

Newly diagnosed individuals and families are invited to come ask questions about what it means to live with type 1 diabetes (T1D). All are welcome to join us for an evening of learning about T1D, how to thrive in a life with T1D, and how Breakthrough T1D can support you!

We will be hosting a vendor fair featuring national partners who support individuals living with T1D everyday. We will also be hosting a question & answer (Q&A) session, featuring panelists who will share their firsthand experiences of what a life with T1D looks like and how Breakthrough T1D has helped.

Sandwiches will be served at this event.

With respect to event and participant safety, there will be no Kids Camp offered this year. Childcare will not be available.

At Breakthrough T1D, protecting the health and safety of our guests, donors, volunteers and staff remains a top priority as we prepare to come together in person to advance the mission we all share.

Breakthrough T1D has analyzed recent COVID-19 data and trends and there has been a decrease in the number of COVID-19 cases around the country. For this reason, Breakthrough T1D has made the decision to discontinue the proof of vaccination and/or negative COVID test requirement for attendees of this event.

Individuals who wish to wear masks at any of our Breakthrough T1D events are encouraged and welcome to do so. For the health and safety of everyone, event attendees experiencing signs of illness are kindly asked to stay home.
