Biennial AVS meetings bring together virologists from around Australasia to promote scientific exchange and collaboration in a relaxed atmosphere. We aim to cover diverse virology disciplines including molecular virology, systems virology, virus discovery, antiviral and vaccine development, clinical virology, Indigenous virology, structural virology, immunology and innate immunity. 

The meeting will feature keynote and invited presentations from leading international and national virologists. We also welcome and encourage submitted abstracts from students and early career researchers.

With over 25 years since the last IMUC, the objectives of the IMUC-III conference are to:

Reconnect and bring together international leading experts, medical professionals, early career researchers and students from across the globe working on (or interested in) M. ulcerans.

Share experiences, learnings and research on how Buruli ulcer and the causative agent M. ulcerans is being studied, monitored, investigated and treated. 

Promote neglected skin diseases such as Buruli ulcer that impact lower-, middle- and high-income countries to varying degrees and highlight the importance of raising awareness of the severity and spread these diseases, and Buruli ulcer in particular. 

Showcase the progress made in addressing key issues of preventing and treating Buruli ulcer from public health and clinical perspectives.

Be part of a sustainable IPC future at the ACIPC International Conference.

Onsite Shared Registrations: access for three individuals to attend, with each person allotted a single-day entry.

Online Day Registration: Attendees can choose specific conference days aligning with their interests, focusing on sessions most relevant to their professional goals.

Dinner Inclusive Registrations: Delegates can opt to include dinner with their registration, customising their conference experience according to their preferences.

Book early! Early registration discounted fees close on the 1st of October 2024.

BacPath is the Australian premiere biennial molecular bacteriology meeting that has an exclusive focus on bacterial pathogens. We explore the full spectrum of molecular microbiology from fundamental research to translational applications.

Our meetings have been running in Australia for more than two decades and provide an ideal forum for the Australian molecular bacteriology community to congregate and share their latest research findings.

We take pride in providing postgraduate students and early career researchers (ECRs) oral presentation opportunities at BacPath meetings, allowing them to present to our delegates from academia, research institutions and industry.

Networking and career-building is also strongly valued, our programs therefore include plenty of time for delegates to exchange ideas with peers and expand their professional networks.

The Asian Pacific Congress of Protistology (APCOP-V) 2024 is the new branding for the 5th edition of the Asian Congress of Protistology, to be held for the first time in the Southern Hemisphere, jointly with the Annual Meeting of the Australasian Society for Phycology and Aquatic Botany (ASPAB). APCOP-V will gather students, academics, researchers, and professionals from the Asian Pacific region (and beyond) to showcase the latest research on protists, microalgae, and aquatic plants applying cutting-edge technologies, brainstorm ideas, and forge new connections.

An excellent opportunity to bring Australia’s diverse microbial ecology community together to network, share ideas and to provide an invaluable way to expand our knowledge and foster collaboration.

Under the theme "Unity in Diversity: Global Partnerships in Melioidosis," our congress aims to bring together people from across the world to strengthen existing relationships and foster new connections. We have a dynamic program that covers the diverse aspects of melioidosis including global and regional epidemiology, diagnosis and treatment, immunology and pathogenesis, environmental determinants, bacterial genomics, public health, and vaccine development.

Options XII for the control of Influenza and other respiratory viruses (COVID, RSV). This fantastic international meeting is being held in Brisbane from Sept 29 to Oct 2.

Now held every 2 years, it brings together leading researchers, practitioners, industry representatives and policy makers from all around the world to explore and advance our understanding of influenza and its impact on human and animal health.
The programme has also expanded to feature spotlights on the latest advances in the fields of SARS-CoV-2 and RSV.

This important forum will bring together three prestigious congresses, each with a strong history of attracting the Bioscience and Biotechnology communities together to discuss and examine the latest developments and research: 

• 26th Congress of the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (IUBMB)

• 17th Congress of the Federation of Asian & Oceanian Biochemists & Molecular Biologists (FAOBMB)

• 22nd ComBio Conference (ComBio)

This will be the first time the IUBMB Congress will be held in Melbourne and only the third time in the Southern Hemisphere.  It will join with FAOBMB and ComBio to create a truly global forum bringing together renowned scientists from across the world, from Nobel Laureates to early career scientists.

Welcome to MicroSeq, an online conference designed to bring together early career researchers in Australia and New Zealand from a broad range of microbiology domains, who are united by their use of DNA and RNA sequencing technologies to investigate microbes. 

ISSSI 2024 will cover many interdisciplinary subjects regarding staphylococci and staphylococcal infections. 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, the meeting’s registration includes the welcome and farewell receptions, the conference dinner, lunches and morning and afternoon teas.

The Viruses of Microbes 2024 meeting, which will be held in Cairns, Australia. This will be a large international phage/virus conference that will be of interest to the field - please stay posted for more information.

EduCon is conducted yearly by the  ASM Education Special Interest Group (ASM EdSIG).  

It is a fantastic networking event for microbiologists who are passionate about education. Apart from hearing from education experts and participating in lively discussions, you will have the opportunity to showcase your best practices, new teaching methods and technologies! 

 The conference will be held after ASM2024 at Brisbane.  

Save the dates:

July 4th (PM) at Brisbane Convention Centre
