Next DFSG meeting? There will be no DFSG meeting in 2027, as the diabetic foot community will come together at the ISDF in The Hague.
DFSG will return in 2028, and we look forward to continuing the exchange of knowledge and welcoming the diabetic foot community back for the next DFSG meeting.

Scam alert
Please be aware of scam companies falsely claiming to be affiliated with the official conference or organizing committee. While we do our best to prevent such scams, they are unfortunately common. We have recently been made aware of one such group operating under the name Travel Housing Team using the email address travelpioneer@outlook.com.
If you receive a suspicious offer or are unsure about any communication, please contact us directly at ss@cap-partner.eu before taking any action.
ABOUT
DFSG
The aim of the Diabetic Foot Study Group (DFSG) is to promote an advancement of knowledge on all aspects of diabetic foot care. This is done through active co-operation and collaboration between endocrinologists, diabetologists, podiatrists, specialist nurses, orthopaedic and vascular surgeons and other specialists with an interest in caring for diabetic patients with foot problems.
DFSG acts as a reference group for EASD in matters related to diabetic foot.
Previous meetings have gathered around 300 participants. A majority of these are members of the Diabetic Foot Study Group. Usually, 50-60 % of the participants are physicians, representing most centres of excellence working within the area of diabetes in Europe. Even a number of centres from the USA, India, Russia and Australia are represented.
Traditionally, the conference is held in connection with the much larger conferences of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD). Consequently, the impact of the DFSG reaches far beyond the DFSG participants, as their recommendations influence all interested in the area of diabetes through the following EASD meeting.
This meeting gathers up to 18,000 specialists.
The DFSG 2025 Meeting has received CVS-ethical approval from MedTech Europe, confirming its compliance with the ethical standards and transparency requirements set for industry-supported medical education events.
