Description

For the past 18 years, the World Vaccine Congress Washington congress has evolved and grown into the leading vaccines congress globally, with:  300 speakers, 1500 attendeesand hundreds of networking opportunities.

 

Back in 2015, we introduced a successful new format which allowed for whole-sector topics, giving an opportunity for people to find out more about their specific area of research and their job-function. By running parallel niche conferences over the 3 days, it increased the relevance of the whole event for everyone who attended.

In 2019, we will be continuing this format with the pre-congress workshops and conferences in:

  • Cancer Immunotherapy
  • Immune Profiling
  • Respiratory Vaccines
  • Emerging & Re-emerging Diseases
  • Clinical Trials
  • Vaccine Partnerships
  • Bioprocessing & Manufacturing
  • Vaccines Safety
  • Logistics
  • Veterinary Vaccines

We will also be looking to expand into newer topic areas such as BioDefense, Big Data andBioinformatics in a greater capacity, engaging more profiles from Army, DoD, non-profits and national representatives in healthcare.

Throughout these sessions you will learn how cutting-edge research efforts can be integrated with pharma, biotech, academia and government to produce more and better vaccines to the market.

With so much on show throughout these four days and unparalleled networking and learning opportunities, we’re confident that you will walk away from this year’s congress safe in the knowledge that your time has been well worth it.

We look forward to welcoming you there.
