The World Diabetes Congress will be held from 4 to 8 December 2011 at Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre from Dubai, UAE.
The Programme Committee has put together a state-of-the-art programme with each of the five streams offering interesting topics presented by eminent speakers. We aim to provide an optimum congress experience to participants through the creation of innovative and interactive sessions.
The programme will consist of various sessions in different formats divided into five streams: Clinical and Basic Science, Education and Integrated Care, Global Challenges in Health, Health Systems and Epidemiology and Life with Diabetes.
The Debate section will include sessions on controversial topics in the format of a discussion in which two opposing teams will defend and refute a given proposition.
Meet-the-expert sessions will provide the opportunity for participants to interact with one or more experts on a specific topic.
A topic of common interest will be introduced in the Open Forum for discussion between a speaker and participants. Participants may put forward new ideas and questions to the speaker at any time.
In the informal sessions of the Speaker’s Corner, a speaker will critically evaluate and analyse a topic. Participants may question the speaker at the end of the lecture.
Symposia will showcase the latest findings in diabetes research, and current issues in therapy and education, as well as exploring subjects related to the organizational, economic and personal impact of diabetes.
Recognized experts will give Educational Lectures on specified topics. This format will combine a lecture with audience interaction.
Workshops will include the discussion of specific topics accompanied by practical demonstrations, problem-solving or hands-on training sessions.
Some accepted abstracts will be chosen for oral presentations enabling authors to communicate their findings to a global audience. An array of accepted abstracts will be chosen for poster discussion sessions. Authors will present and discuss their findings with a small group. A collection of accepted abstracts will be also displayed as posters.
