2026 Kentucky Diabetes Symposium

Registration is now OPEN!

Join us on Friday, November 13, 2026

This year marks an exciting new chapter as we expand to three in‑person symposium locations across Kentucky broadening attendee access. All three locations will feature the same live educational program and continuing education  as well as opportunities to connect with exhibitors and local mission-driven organizations.  

Attendees can choose to attend the symposum at one of the three following locations: 

📍 Louisville – Primary Location 

📍 Prestonsburg – Eastern Kentucky Satellite

📍 Owensboro – Western Kentucky Satellite

No matter the location, all attendees will have the opportunity to obtain
six continuing education credits through ADCES!
