Sponsors' Focus Groups from 13.30 - 15.45
BETA BIONICS FOCUS GROUP A

For all people living with type 1 diabetes using pumps 
and their family members or caregivers. (ages 6+)

Beta Bionics is looking for people living with type 1 diabetes and their family members to help us learn about what it is like to live with diabetes in your family, what led you to make the choices you have made regarding insulin therapy, and what you feel diabetes companies could do to make all of these things easier/better. This is a unique opportunity to help Beta Bionics form our launch strategy.  

All participants will need to agree to an Informed Consent and Non-Disclosure Agreement. The consent form will include information on how your data will be protected consistent with GDPR guidelines.

These sessions will be audio recorded for internal education only.

Dedicated Virtual Sponsors' Area from 16.00 - 18.00
The Virtual Friends for Life UK Sponsors' Area
This year, in an attempt to recreate the FFL Exhibit Hall, our generous sponsors and partners have really upped their digital game, working with the T-1 Today UK team to create an area where VFFL attendees can visit with sponsors, get the most current diabetes industry information, and even have some fun. We’re proud to be bringing this area, and we’re really grateful that our sponsors and our supporters have worked with us to see our vision for this year’s virtual event come to life.
