The 3rd Conference of the Association of Diabetic Foot Surgeons was held November 2017 in Venice, Italy. 

The ADFS conference offered three days of high quality sessions on soft tissue infections osteomyelitis, revascularization, organization, setting and education, Charcot, critical limb ischemia, wound closure strategies as well as poster presentations, oral presentations from abstracts, prize winning presentations and satellite symposia.

A peculiar feature of the ADFS congress in Venice was the delivering of videos on the most frequent and important surgical procedure, displayed and commented by key-opinion leaders alternated with the more traditional lectures, to give more details of the clinical aspects of our work to the participants.
