Join us for the 32nd International Papillomavirus Conference, to be held October 2-6 in Sydney, Australia! IPVC 2018 will gather researchers, clinicians and other health professionals to share knowledge and ideas on papillomaviruses and their associated diseases as we work towards global control of HPV disease. As with past IPVS conferences, IPVC 2018 will include an outstanding program of invited lectures, oral abstract sessions, poster sessions, symposia, workshops and networking events. We look forward to seeing you in Sydney! Register now to save up to $170!
PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS
Here is a sneak peek at some of the exciting experiences that are in store for IPVC participants. The Conference co-chair, Karen Canfell, shares her insight as to what is unique about the scientific program this year…
“We will be running an integrated Australian meeting targeted at local immunization and screening providers which is called “PCC: Preventing Cervical Cancer”. We will also have two days of pre-conference educational workshops with presentations by local and international experts. These will have three parallel tracks that people can move between as they wish – clinical, public health and basic sciences.
During the main conference there will be a focus on presenting the latest international research (featuring Australian innovation in implementation of vaccination and HPV screening) and there will be sessions on behavioral research, as well as clinical, public health and basic sciences tracks.
Professor Ian Frazer will give the opening plenary and there will be many other great plenary presentations by the best international researchers and policy experts.”
We look forward to welcoming you in Sydney!
