82nd Scientific Sessions | American Diabetes Association

Caution: Beware of Registration Scams

There are companies that are claiming to offer registration services for ADA’s Scientific Sessions, which are not affiliated with ADA and do not offer any services on our behalf.

Registration should only be accessed from the ADA website. If you do not see this logo on the website then they are not our official provider!


The 82nd Scientific Sessions is Headed to New Orleans, LA!

Save the date for the American Diabetes Association’s 82nd Scientific Sessions in New Orleans, LA, June 3-7, 2022 at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center. 

We know you are eager to participate in-person, to network with colleagues, hear the latest scientific advances and groundbreaking research presentations, and experience the Exhibit and Poster Halls. ADA is currently planning a hybrid event. The safety of our attendees is our top priority. Check back for updates.

Should you have any questions, please Contact ADA.

Abstract Submission is Now Open!

The Scientific Sessions Meeting Planning Committee encourages submissions that are innovative, challenge current treatment paradigms, and represent the latest advances in basic, clinical, and translational science. This is your opportunity to shape the scientific program and help ensure that the most relevant spectrum of topics is presented at the meeting.

Submissions will be accepted until Monday, January 10, 2022, at 5:00 PM ET.

View Abstract Submission Guidelines and submit your research today!

Scientific Sessions Portal

This time-saving system eliminates the process of re-entering contact information and disclosures for authors listed on more than one abstract. All abstract authors are responsible for entering their information into the Portal once per meeting.

Authors who have previously participated in the Scientific Sessions may have an account in our database. Those authors must log into the Portal to confirm or update their contact information and finalize their disclosure for the 2022 meeting BEFORE you add their name to the author list. This will ensure current contact information is added to the submission.

Authors who do not have an account in the Portal must create an account and complete the steps to finalize their disclosure. This site will not allow you to add an author who does not have an account in the Portal.

Don’t wait until the last minute! Those who plan to be a co-author on an abstract submission should complete the disclosure process now.

Abstract submitters must first finalize their disclosure record to gain access to the abstract submission site.

View step-by-step Portal instructions.

Registration and Housing will Open in January 2022
