As always, the annual IPS conference promises to be a landmark occasion, uniting professionals, experts, and thought leaders dedicated to advancing the science and practice of infection prevention. This conference provides a unique platform for collaboration, knowledge exchange, and the exploration of innovative solutions to current challenges in infection control.

IP 2024 will offer you the opportunity to explore the latest research, advancements, and will feature an impressive line-up of keynote speakers, experts, giving you the chance to learn from and interact with pioneers in the field, gaining valuable insights into the latest developments and best practices.
