On October 8 – 10, 2020, the 20th anniversary edition of the interdisciplinary Diabetic Foot Conference (DFCon) is scheduled to return to return to Los Angeles at the Hilton Los Angeles/Universal City.

We, the chairmen and course directors, hope the exciting environment of Universal Studios brings energy to the conference experience for delegates and our industry partners. Each year, DFCon gathers influential speakers and delivers outstanding scientific content. This three-day conference allows the best in their field to come together and learn from each other. DFCon also serves as a hands-on, dynamic congress where delegates can use the experience to immediately bring impact to their daily clinical practice. You will learn more about the different topics and sessions on the following pages.

There is a challenge facing us: redefining the role of a medical congress in the 21st century. The physician from twenty years ago is different from the physician of today. Knowledge is now available at their fingertips. The information is no longer an end in itself, it’s a conversation starter. DFCon exists to facilitate this meeting of physicians where ideas can be exchanged freely. DFCon is widely acknowledged as being a leader in discovery. Next-generation endovascular therapies, wearable robots, spray-on skin, sociomicrobiology, smart textiles, phage therapy, augmented reality and injectable sensors have all made their debut at DFCon.
