We gathered in Alexandria, VA, the weekend of October 13, 2017, to host our 9th Weekend for Women Conference. Co-located with the Diabetes UnConference, over 150 people living with diabetes (and some of their partners and loved ones) gathered to support one another and learn more about how to better live with diabetes. Presenting Sponsor Dexcom joined Abbott Diabetes Care, Boehringer Ingelheim, Janssen, Lilly, Merck, Novo Nordisk, Omnipod and Roche to provide funding for this very special weekend.
We are thankful for our attendees who carved time for themselves to join us for Sisterhood and learning. Thanks to our faculty and panelists, who shared their expertise and experience. Special appreciation to Bob Sagliocca, who photographed the event.
