Scientific Sessions
Symposium
Our 30+ 90 minutes symposia sessions will be an integral part of our congress and will be delivered by internationally acclaimed scientists in the field of diabetes care. They will display the latest findings in diabetes research and current issues in therapy and education. All symposia will include a live Q&A at the end of the session.
Debate
Hear from two opposing teams that will defend and refute current topics on diabetes. Don’t hesitate to share your opinion at the end of the debate.
Teaching lecture
Recognised experts will give educational lectures on specific topics. This format will combine a lecture with a question-and-answer session.
Seminar
Specific topics will be discussed accompanied by practical demonstrations, problem-solving or hands-on training sessions.
Interactive Sessions
The IDF Virtual Congress 2021 places great emphasis on networking and interactivity and encourages participants to update their profile after logging in. This will help to connect with professionals who share similar interests. Our digital congress platform provides a great networking tool. By clicking on the Networking icon, you can connect with other participants and exchange messages through the chat tool or invite them for a chat through a video call.
Meet-the-Expert Sessions
Don’t miss the opportunity to address your questions directly to a leading expert. Our Meet-the-Expert networking sessions will be limited to a small number of participants to allow for maximum interaction with the expert on a specific topic.
Panel discussions
Participate in an interactive session encouraging discussion between groups of diverse panellists. A moderator will ask the panellists questions to start a conversation followed by an audience Q&A.
Delegate discussion groups
Spark a memorable conversation in our chat rooms and create your own group topic to trigger a fruitful discussion or join a pre-defined topic on the following subjects:
- Do we understand and are we responding to the psychological drivers and consequences of diabetes complications?
- Current and future challenges of Covid-19 and how the virus affects people with diabetes
- Cardiovascular risks in diabetes across the globe: share your experience
- What are the best strategies to improve adherence to foot self-care in people with and without active ulcers?
- Treatment of diabetic kidney disease
Poster Sessions
E-poster gallery
The IDF Virtual Congress will provide you with the opportunity to hear about the latest research in diabetes care from a global audience of diabetes health professionals. You will have full access to 400+ posters in our e-poster gallery and will be able to view them during the event and up to 12 months after the Congress. You will be able to browse posters by keyword and have the opportunity to contact the abstract authors through our messaging system.
Oral poster presentation
Our best abstracts are selected for an oral poster presentation in our “Best Poster” sessions in the scientific programme.
Some sessions will also include an interactive polling feature to help expand your knowledge and exchange best practices.
All sessions will be broadcast live during the congress and made available available on-demand for 30 days after the congress. During the live sessions, you will be able to join a live Q&A with delegates and speakers from across the globe.
