The Annual Conference Planning Committee is hard at work building a conference that reflects the evolving diabetes care and education specialty. You can expect even more engaging sessions, dynamic speakers and new opportunities to explore diabetes prevention, education and technology during ADCES24 Annual Conference—Friday, August 9 – Monday, August 12, 2024 in New Orleans!

Showcase your passion for the diabetes care and education specialty by submitting an education or research session abstract for ADCES24. This is your chance to share your valuable insights, latest findings and "aha moments" with your colleagues from around the nation.

Getting Started

Our goal is to provide education and research sessions that arm attendees with the knowledge and skills to drive the diabetes specialty into the next frontier of healthcare. Research sessions seek to present new research and should contain evidence supporting the value of the diabetes care and education specialist. ADCES is also seeking education submissions that highlight the value of the DCES.

Review the detailed descriptions of each track and choose the one that best fits your session proposal. 

Education Tracks

• Equitable Care for Diverse Individuals and Populations
• Diabetes and the Cardiometabolic Continuum
• Psychosocial/Behavioral Health
• Technology Integration
• The Business of Providing High-Quality Care
• Mitigating Therapeutic Inertia

Submission Site
The submission process is divided into tasks that must be completed before you can submit your proposal. The submission site will allow you to save your work after each task is completed; however, you do not have the ability to save your work mid-task.

We recommend that you review the required information prior to starting your submission to ensure you have everything you need to submit and begin your submission well in advance of the deadline. Users unfamiliar with the submission site and last-minute rushes to submit work are the primary sources of error in the submission process.

Education Session Abstract

An education session is for intermediate to advanced-level content on any topic that fits into one of the track descriptions. Sessions around quality improvement projects should use this session type rather than a research session, which is for publishable scientific qualitative or quantitative research. Preference will be given to submissions that feature interactive formats and/or a multidisciplinary approach and/or incorporate the value of the DCES as it relates to the topic.

Poster Abstract

Poster (Education or Research) – Poster presentations communicate diabetes concepts and data to an audience using a combination of visuals (graphics, charts, diagrams, etc.) and text. An opportunity to engage ADCES24 attendees in discussion is made available through poster sessions. Posters that meet defined criteria will be selected as Distinguished Posters for brief presentations by authors on a dedicated stage in the ADCES24 exhibit hall and identified by special ribbons in the poster hall.

The Education and Research Committee Chairs will be selecting the Distinguished Posters on the following criteria:

1. Sustainable: Can be applied or implemented in different diabetes care and education settings by the members of the diabetes care team.
2. Inclusive: Involves the care team, and DCES at different levels; using different members of the team to demonstrate outcomes of Diabetes Care and Education.
3. Employs Behavior Modification Techniques: True to the impact of DCES; what DCES bring to the table that others on the extended care team do not.
4. Addresses Health Equity: Serves the need(s) in underserved and under-resourced populations/communities.
