Annual Conference 2023
ICC Birmingham
17–20 April 2023
In April, the Society welcomed over 1,665 delegates to its flagship Annual Conference, which returned to the International Conference Centre in Birmingham.
W ith a programme packed with the latest microbiology research and insight, we were delighted to welcome a global speaker line up of experts within their field, presenting over four days. The event included: • Around 761 posters. • Around 212 offered talks. • Talks from 83 invited speakers. • Five Prize Lectures. • Sessions dedicated to professional development, including: - Understanding journal publishing. - Teaching symposium. - Demystifying science policy and politics: maximising the impact of your research in tackling AMR. - Exploring career options.
Annual Conference would not be possible without the revenue and content from our publishing portfolio. Publishing one article in our journals means that we generate the revenue to give grants for four early career members to attend Annual Conference. If you attended Annual Conference 2023, or followed it online, please consider submitting to our journals to continue to support the work of the Society and the microbiology community.
