The brainchild of three pioneering doctors, Dr Guillermo Umpierrez, Dr Sanjay Agrawal and Dr Neeta Deshpande, IDEC is dedicated to the cause of research in medicine, particularly diabetes research. Conceived in 2017 as a single event under the aegis of the ADHERE Foundation, India, and the Emory Diabetes Education Training Academy, USA, IDEC today has evolved into a credible knowledge-sharing platform for medical practitioners from around the world. We strive to make pioneering research accessible to doctors from all walks of life and empower them to offer excellent clinical care.

From the moment we enter medical school till the time we set up our own practice, each one of us is taught what it means to provide sound medical care to those who need it the most. Over time and with practice, we develop personal notions and standards that empower us to offer outstanding clinical care. But I believe that somewhere between transitioning from being a good doctor to an excellent one lies the power of collaboration and teamwork. At IDEC, we offer each one of you this chance to grow through the unifying spirit of collaboration. IDEC was born out of a shared vision that Dr Guillermo Umpierrez and I had; a vision to make scientific research and evidence-based medicine accessible to doctors and medical practitioners from around the world. Even more so if it’s for the betterment of humankind. And to that end, we are committed to offering you a one-of-a-kind knowledge platform that can get you the support you need for your research endeavours. We are joined in this mission by a team of exceptional doctors who have helped build IDEC and bring it to where we stand today by offering their invaluable services and time.I’m elated to welcome you aboard this inspiring scientific journey at IDEC. Together, let’s strive for the betterment of medicine for all humankind.

There is immense research and development happening around the world in the field of diabetes. As practitioners, we all need to keep up with these findings and enhance our knowledge periodically. There is much to keep up with. Collecting a vast repository of knowledge over the last 6 years, we at IDEC aim to bring cutting-edge advances in diabetes research, prevention, and clinical care under one roof. Packed with comprehensive scientific workshops, debates, symposiums, and plenary sessions, the yearly IDEC brings national and international faculty together to learn from each other and grow as a community. In a single event each year spanning over 3 days, IDEC’s Scientific Sessions are one of the best in India and global meetings in diabetes. In the last 2 years, we have had an expanded reach with hybrid options for attendees, inviting participants globally to be part of these sessions.
