Our Adelaide event

How much does Type 1 Summit cost to attend?

The Type 1 Summit is completely free to attend, both online and in person.

However, as Breakthrough T1D is a not-for-profit organisation that funds life-changing T1D research, donations are always welcome.

You can also purchase an optional ticket for the Sundowner Session (read more below).

What is the Sundowner Session?

For the first time, guests attending in person can join us for drinks and canapes at the venue at the conclusion of the day. You’ll be able to chat with other members of the T1D community, Breakthrough T1D staff and some of our presenters and panellists in a relaxed setting.

Tickets for this event include beverages (select wine, beer, soft drinks and juices) and canapes. These non-refundable tickets are $15 to help us cover costs.

Parents and carers of kids and teens are welcome to join us, but please note this is strictly an event for adults 18 years +.

To buy your tickets for the Sundowner Session, add it on when registering. If you’ve already registered and would like to add it at a later date, please email [email protected] for payment instructions.
