Here’s your chance to win registration to a major global diabetes event.

Attending an ADEA State Conference this year? You could win a full registration to the International Diabetes Federation Western Pacific Region and Australasian Diabetes Congress 2026 in Melbourne this August.

How to enter

While you're at an ADEA State Conference, post something meaningful (e.g. a key insight, a practical takeaway, a moment of connection at the event) on LinkedIn, Instagram or Facebook. In your post:

• Tag ADEA.
• Include ADEA's official conference hashtags* #ADEAActLocal and #ADEAActNow.
• Make sure your post is set to public.

Each eligible post counts as one entry, limited to one post per social media platform per day. Entry is open to only registered State Conference attendees.

• Entries close 1 July
• Winner announced 15 July

This is your chance to celebrate your professional development, showcase our community, and potentially win registration to one of the region's most significant diabetes congresses.

*What do the hashtags mean? Think global. Act local. Diabetes care happens locally — in your clinic, hospital, community service or remote setting. But the ideas shaping that care are global. Through ADEA's 2026 State Conferences and ADC 2026, we’re connecting local action with global evidence and innovation.
