The 4th Annual Diabetes & Endocrine Conference is jointly hosted by M42's Imperial College London Diabetes & Endocrine Centre (ICLDEC) and HealthPlus Diabetes & Endocrinology Center (DEC), and takes place at the Ritz-Carlton, Abu Dhabi on 7–8 November 2026. The meeting is organised by Medetarian Conferences Organizing (MCO).
Now in its fourth edition, this annual meeting has become a regional platform for advancing clinical excellence, scientific exchange and collaborative learning in diabetes and endocrine care. It brings together leading clinicians and experts from the United Kingdom and the Middle East to examine contemporary evidence, emerging developments and evolving clinical practice across diabetes and endocrinology.
Programme format
The two-day programme combines:
- Expert-led scientific sessions on current evidence and guidelines
- Interactive, case-based workshops focused on complex clinical challenges
- Clinical debates on areas of uncertainty in practice
- Multidisciplinary discussions linking physicians, nurses, educators and allied health professionals
Delegates can expect practical insights into novel therapeutic approaches, advances in diabetes technology, and how to translate new evidence into patient-centred care.
Why it matters
According to the latest International Diabetes Federation estimates cited by the organisers, diabetes affects around 85 million adults across the MENA region. The conference aims to address the evolving challenges of diabetes and endocrine care through knowledge exchange, evidence-based clinical insight, innovative therapies and interdisciplinary collaboration — with the wider goal of reducing diabetes prevalence and improving outcomes across the region.
Who should attend
Endocrinologists, diabetologists, internal medicine and family physicians, diabetes nurses and educators, dietitians, pharmacists, and other healthcare professionals involved in managing diabetes, obesity and endocrine disorders.
