DIA Includes Patients

Your Voice Matters

Patients and caregivers with experience relevant to the conference's central theme are actively involved in designing and planning the event, including selecting themes, topics, and speakers. They both attend and participate in delivering the event content.

• Speakers at the DIA Europe 2027 include patient representatives.
• The programme agenda has been designed to incorporate the patient perspective — not only within the Patient Science sub-topic, but throughout all tracks where a patient perspective adds value.
• Patients and their partners with experience or interest in measuring the impact of patient involvement on medical product development also feature as speakers, panellists, and discussants throughout the programme.
• The Patient Partners Speaker Initiative helps the Programme Committee and session developers find the most appropriate patient or patient partner speakers.

Stay Connected. Before, During and After

• All relevant sessions, breakouts, ancillary meetings, and other programme elements are open to patient delegates.
• Speaker Presentations and video recordings of sessions will be made available to attendees for 6 months after the conference via the event app.
• The hashtag #DIAEurope2027 will be actively promoted on social media platforms prior to and during the event. This will allow both participants and those unable to attend the event to join the conversation and discuss presentations and key takeaways.
