The congress is the world's leading international forum for diabetes research and it is expected to attract more than 15,000 of the world's researchers on the subject to Stockholmsmässan in the autumn of 2021.

- We are happy and proud to host the EASD once again in 2021. Thanks to close cooperation with Visit Stockholm and other important stakeholders, we show that Stockholm is willing, able and delivers world-class meetings, says Isabelle Lechtman, Director Congresses & Guest Events.

This will be the EASD’s 57th annual meeting and the choice of Stockholm as location was made in strong competition with several other big European cities.
