Sponsored by the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases (NFID), the Annual Conference on Vaccinology Research (ACVR) is a well-established forum for the exchange of the latest scientific and clinical knowledge in vaccinology.

ACVR brings together more than 300 researchers from across the globe – including healthcare professionals, trainees, young investigators, government officials, and industry and academia representatives from the many disciplines involved in vaccinology.

For more than 20 years, ACVR has been well-regarded by attendees for facilitating relevant discussions and connections through networking opportunities designed to engage attendees from trainees to senior decision-makers.

The conference features invited presentations, panel discussions, peer-reviewed submitted oral abstracts and posters, Meet-the-Expert sessions, scientific awards, and lectures by world-renowned vaccinology experts, and the networking events in an intimate setting create a rich environment for engagement and collaboration with colleagues. Participants leave the conference ready to apply what they have learned, with professional connections to help advance their research.
