Children with Diabetes Conferences and Events
Friends for Life Conferences
What began in 2000 as an email by Laura Billetdeaux to the parents mailing list ("Anyone want to meet in Orlando for a vacation?") became 110 families -- 550 people -- getting together for several days of fun and camaraderie. CWD's Friends for Life conferences, with our world-class faculty and inspiring community, have grown to become the world's largest educational and support conference for kids, adults, and families living with type 1 diabetes. From green bracelets to our Thursday night all-conference banquet, memories are waiting to be made.
CWD Events
In addition to our Friends for Life conferences, CWD also hosts events around the world, ranging from diabetes advocacy roundtables to technology meet ups to breakfasts and dinners. We share our vision of a life well lived with type 1 diabetes.
