UT Health – San Antonio
After a transformative 23-year legacy led by Professor Lawrence B. Harkless, The Diabetic Foot Update (DFUpdate) will be set once again in San Antonio, this iconic meeting honors the spirit of the original while embracing a bold new era of multidisciplinary collaboration, innovation, and limb preservation. Spearheaded by the American Limb Preservation Society (ALPS), DFUpdate 2026 shines a spotlight on PAD. DFUpdate is more than a conference—it’s a rallying point for changemakers.
Designed to unite diverse specialties in an immersive, interactive learning environment, this year’s program will challenge clinical norms, present cutting-edge science, and foster transformative conversations. Whether you are a seasoned expert or emerging leader, DFUpdate offers a unique platform to connect, innovate, and elevate care for patients at risk of limb loss. Join us as we reignite a tradition, redefine diabetic foot management, and move closer to a future free of preventable amputations.
