The 21st Malvern Diabetic Foot Conference

About the event

The Malvern Diabetic Foot Conference is the longest standing biennial international diabetic foot meeting.

The 2026 conference will be the 21st meeting since its inception in 1986 and over three days will engage physicians, surgeons, podiatrists, orthotists, nursing staff and other allied health care professionals with a common interest in diabetic foot problems, and offers the opportunity to connect with industry on the latest innovations and trends. 

The conference is well-established as a leading event in the field, drawing on the expertise of specialists from up to 30 countries from around the world including dozens of thought leaders from North America and Western Europe.

This three-day conference is designed to engage physicians, surgeons, podiatrists, orthotists and nursing staff with a common interest in diabetic foot problems. Diabetic foot is one of the main causes for in-patient treatment amongst the diabetic population and as always it is anticipated that the conference will improve current understanding of the disease, showcase the latest research, and act as a forum for the exchange of ideas.

Funders

The Malvern Diabetic Foot meeting is supported by way of grants or sponsorship from the pharmaceutical industry. Our funders have no involvement in the organisation of this event, or the selection of speakers or topics which are handled entirely independently by the event Chairs. Funders are invited to send a delegation of senior company representatives to attend, and their role is simply to continue building the crucial understanding between academia and industry in a scientific setting. Full disclosure of funders is on the event website and available at the venue during the event.

Funders will host pharmaceutical & device industry promotional satellite symposia. The sessions are clearly marked on the agenda and will be introduced on-site.
