I got spoiled for about 12 years while living in San Diego – the TCOYD flagship annual conference. Up-to-date info, great sharing of hacks and tips, judgment free place to question “advice/directions” from your own endo’s (and endorks) and the swag was great. Face-to-face with vendors, chances to meet with real-life users of the tech.
When I moved to Portland OR I went to an ADA Expo and left within 20 minutes. It was all geared to the needs of T2D (and yeah, they have needs and questions) but nothing for T1D – not even device reps etc.
I decided to try to get a TCOYD conference in my area. Got an estimated budget (TCOYD was very helpful) and started to plan how I could get large local donors. I knew I had to get the local ADA and HDRF orgs to back me in my endeavor. I wasn’t looking for $$, but their blessing so I could get the word out to the Endo’s in the area. Sadly, the local ADA and JDRF didn’t respond to my calls, letters or emails. I had to give up the idea.
Once the annual TCOYD’s are back, I’ll save up and go to San Diego (hopefully old friends will let me crash at their house!)
Hey Kristina. I think TCOYD in San Diego is back in person this summer. Aug 16-18th.

TCOYD is the best! The ONE conference in person was back on starting last year. Try the website! I would go, but I have a wedding to attend around that time.
I moved and now there are none near me so I said no.
I attend the University of Colorado, Barbara Davies Center’s annual Keystone conference in July. It’s for health care providers (I’m a RN, CDCES specializing in T1D care, with T1D myself). It’s brings a variety of diabetes experts representing different sectors (research, government, industry and providers) from all over the world to an intimate, beautiful setting. The information is practical and really helpful. Please let your providers know about it!
Breakthrough T1D one day events. TCOYD One Conference—an adult T1 camp, the best!

If invited.
Yes my husband and I are attending the TCOYD “ONE” Conference in August as we do every August they have it.
I am POOR, I possess neither the time nor the ability on any level to attend. Would likely enjoy the ability if, if I was able…
Jeff, watch for a JDRF Summit in your area. They are free to attend and you even get breakfast and lunch plus vendor samples!
I have already attended the local JDRF Summit and a TCOYD virtual event this year. I will do more as they are offered.
I put “I’m not sure” because I don’t know of any in my area. If one comes close to where I live, it is possible that I might
I’m not sure. I usually go to an annual conference at my hospital in the fall but haven’t heard any announcement yet.
