Breakthrough T1D Technology Discovery Event: London

About the event

The Breakthrough T1D Discovery Day in London brings the T1D community together for a day of insight, connection, and support in the heart of the capital.

Designed for individuals, families, healthcare professionals, and anyone connected to type 1 diabetes, this inclusive, family‑friendly event offers something for everyone.

Attendees can expect:

• Inspiring guest speaker sessions on a range of topics
• The latest updates in T1D research
• Technology exhibition showcasing a range of T1D devices and practical tools for managing the condition

With spaces and activities designed to engage different age groups, the day creates opportunities to learn, connect, and share experiences.

We’re also excited to share that this event marks the start of something more. Alongside our established Discovery Day programme, we’re developing new plans to further support and engage children and young people – with more to come as these ideas take shape. Registering now is the first step in being part of what’s next.

What to expect

Speaker sessions

Our Discovery Days are centered around bringing the T1D community together. So, at this event, we will be running sessions centered on peer support.
