Breakthrough T1D Community Summit Bethesda

March 8, 2025, Rockville, MD
8:30 am - 12:00 pm (Eastern Time)

The Community Summit (formerly TypeOneNation Summit) is free community event for anyone living with or caring for a person living with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Join your T1D community for a morning of support, education, and connection. You’ll hear updates on research and advocacy, participate in interactive breakout sessions, and visit with device companies, camps, and others in the T1D Resource vendor hall. Whether you are family who is dealing with a new diagnosis, an adult who has lived with T1D for many years, a grandparent or caregiver, or a diabetes health care professional, there will be something for you! Kids and teens (grades K-12) are invited to participate in our Youth and Teen program running concurrently with the main program. Admission is free, but advance registration is required. Space is limited for the Youth and Teen program.

Schedule (Subject to change)

Advanced registration is required for adults and children.

Our Youth & Teen Program is open to kids with T1D and their siblings in grades K-12. Age-appropriate programming will include small group activities, games, entertainment, and special guests! Parents must remain on-site at the Summit as they will be contacted for diabetes management decisions as needed.
2025 vendors will include Breakthrough T1D programs and events as well as device companies, camps, and other diabetes products and service providers.
2025 speakers and session information coming soon!
