On August 18, the day before the conference begins, Reykjavik Culture Night will take place; a vibrant annual event where tens of thousands of people attend numerous mini concerts, theaters, shows, shops, galleries and restaurants. In addition, the Reykjavik Marathon is held on that day, a popular event for runners and their friends and families.
The conference program is still preliminary, but we aim to put various issues in focus, including the centennial of the Spanish influenza, the current goal of elimination of hepatitis C, pneumococcal disease and community acquired pneumonia, new diagnostics, new insights to various diseases provided by new information on the human microbiome, infection control in the Nordic countries, new aspects on antimicrobial resistance testing, frontiers in fungal infections and many others.
Last but not least, the spectacular, unspoiled nature of Iceland will be there to welcome you. We are looking very much forward to seeing you at a cutting edge scientific meeting, the 35th annual NSCMID in Reykjavik, 2018.
Best regards,
Sigurður Guðmundsson
Congress President, NSCMID 2018
