By bringing together the best minds across public and private payers, providers, purchasers and practitioners, suppliers, entrepreneurs, industry and technology, patients and advocates,
Diabetes Innovation 2013 will act as a powerful marketplace of ideas, partnerships, and collaboration to provoke thought, innovation, and action that address the cost, productivity, and quality-of-life impact of diabetes and related conditions and comorbidities on our society.
