Asia-Pacific Congress of Medical Virology 2027
SSMB is pleased to share that the Asia-Pacific Congress of Medical Virology (APCMV) 2027 will take place from 24 – 26 May 2027, at the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre in Australia.
Held every three years, APCMV is a leading international congress dedicated to diagnostic, public health, research, and clinical virology, with a strong focus on challenges and developments across the Asia-Pacific region. Against the backdrop of recent and emerging viral threats, the APCMV 2027 will provide a forum for sharing research findings, discussing regional experiences, and strengthening collaboration across borders and disciplines.
The Congress will bring together clinicians, researchers, public health professionals, and policymakers to exchange knowledge on medically important viruses and advances in prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. Delegates can look forward to plenary lectures, symposia, and workshops led by international experts and emerging leaders.
Programme details and registration information will be released in the coming months, with a Pre-Congress Workshop scheduled for 23 May 2027. We look forward to welcoming you to Gold Coast, Australia in May 2027.
