The Congress Programme Committee has prepared an excellent mix of plenary lectures, keynote speeches, symposia and workshops by a line-up of invited speakers appealing to those working in infectious diseases and clinical microbiology around the world. Sessions will be presented by the world’s leading experts in each of the research fields. Oral and poster sessions will be an integral part of the program as well, and all delegates are invited to submit abstracts. To promote discussion and interaction between delegates and the invited speakers and industry, the meeting's registration includes the welcome reception, morning and afternoon teas.

The Congress will deliver an academic and social programme that will educate, stimulate and entertain and we look forward to welcoming you.
