Next week, in Vienna, a global community of scientists and clinicians will convene at the annual European Association for the Study of Diabetes 2014 Meeting. This year is a little special, as the organization celebrates its 50th birthday — it's half a century since it held its first meeting in 1964.

"This is the largest congress on diabetes in the world, bigger than the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) and American Diabetes Association (ADA) conferences; we will have close to 20,000 attendees," honorary secretary of the EASD 2014–2016, nephrologist Per-Henrik Groop, MD, DMSc, FRCPE, of University Central Hospital, Helsinki, Finland, told Medscape Medical News.
