Boardroom magazine has featured IPVS 2027, the 39th Annual Conference of the International Papillomavirus Society, in an article on why the conference is coming to Marseille. The article also covers the mission that brings our community together: advancing HPV research, prevention and care worldwide.
HPV-related diseases take more than half a million lives every year, and many of these deaths could be prevented through vaccination. In the interview, IPVS Executive Director Coralie Deguerville and Campaign Officer Chris Amsinger explain why IPVS is going to France. They also describe what the Society hopes to leave behind: a public awareness and vaccination legacy that lasts beyond the conference itself.
A legacy beyond the conference
The IPVS legacy model began in Scotland in 2024 and has since supported communities in Thailand and Greece. Ahead of IPVS 2027, the French legacy team is already working on ways to tackle misinformation about the HPV vaccine and encourage vaccination.
