Annual Conference 2021 is going online
27 October 2020
The Society is pleased to announce that its flagship Annual Conference is returning in 2021 as a virtual event.
Given the complex and changing nature of the pandemic, the Council of the Microbiology Society, supported by our Scientific Conferences Committee, decided the best course of action in the interests of the safety of our members, speakers, delegates, partners, exhibitors and staff, is to transition our planned Annual Conference in Birmingham in 2021 to a series of virtual events brought to our delegates digitally.
We are committed to our principal goal to develop, expand and strengthen the networks available to our members so that they can generate new knowledge about microbes and ensure that it is shared with other communities. Annual Conference Online 2021 will run as a week-long meeting between Monday 26 – Friday 30 April 2021.
Now, more than ever, it is essential that we meet our mission to advance the understanding and impact of microbiology by connecting and empowering communities worldwide. We will work to ensure the best possible digital environment for communicating microbiological research and allowing opportunities for formal and informal networking for both early career and established microbiologists.
The programme for the week is currently in production and further details will be available shortly on the event website.
