Corporate Symposia/Product Theatre


Increase your Impact and Visibility with Diabetes Educators

AADE proudly extends the opportunity to exhibiting firms to support a corporate program at our upcoming Annual Meeting. There are two venues that will expose your company to the more than 4,000 diabetes healthcare professionals expected to be in attendance:

Corporate Symposia

Sessions are 90- and 150-minute accredited continuing education (CE) programs that provide information on a specific area of diabetes care and education. Programs are extremely well attended and are evaluated very highly by participants.

AADE serves as the approver of the CE credit for these programs. Programs require completion of an application and compliance with the CE Standards or Guidelines established by ANCC, CDR, and ACPE. Corporate Symposia sessions are held on Thursday, August 6, and Friday, August 7. These sessions do not compete with any other educational programming in their time periods.

New this year is the opportunity to host a two hour evening program on Friday. A light dinner and beverage service will be provided to participants prior to the start of the program.

After the annual meeting, extend the reach of your Corporate Symposia with an enduring educational program. These can be a printed supplement to The Diabetes Educator journal or an online recorded audio broadcast with the presenters' slides. These are two popular ways to provide CE credit to diabetes educators who were unable to attend your presentation. For more information, please review the Corporate Symposia Enduring Materials Policy and Guidelines, below.
