Dear Colleagues and Friends,

It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 2025 International Congress of Diabetes and Metabolism (ICDM 2025), hosted by the Korean Diabetes Association, taking place from September 25 to 27, 2025, at the Walkerhill Hotel in Seoul, Korea.

Under the theme, “The Next Chapter in Diabetes: Crossing the Boundaries,” ICDM 2025 aims to explore the transformative frontiers of diabetes care and research. As we stand at the intersection of science and technology, this year's congress will spotlight the unprecedented innovations brought by artificial intelligence, big data, and extended reality (XR) in the prevention, diagnosis, and management of diabetes.

With diverse sessions and a distinguished lineup of global experts, ICDM 2025 offers a dynamic platform to exchange cutting-edge insights and foster multidisciplinary collaboration. We are confident that this congress will provide not only academic inspiration, but also practical pathways to reshape the future of diabetes care beyond conventional boundaries.

We look forward to welcoming you to Seoul and to a vibrant gathering of ideas, discovery, and partnership.
