The relevant working group of the German Diabetes Society, as well as the professional association itself, has identified a number of areas where action is possible and necessary to improve sustainability. This includes organizing and holding events and conferences. These events are important for advancing scientific discourse and medical progress, but they also require considerable resources. This statement discusses a number of concepts, options, and problems that are relevant in this context for changing the situation. These activities, some of which are contradictory, require a structured and systematic approach to make diabetes conferences more sustainable in the future.
