ESPID 2024 - 42nd Annual Meeting of the European Society for Paediatric Infectious Diseases

On behalf of the Local Organising and the International Scientific Committees, it gives us great pleasure to invite you to the 42nd Annual Meeting of the European Society of Paediatric Infectious Diseases (ESPID), scheduled to take place May 20-24, 2024.

While we were looking forward to welcoming you to Tel Aviv in May, we regret that, due to the challenging and uncertain circumstances in our region, the venue for ESPID 2024 has been relocated to Copenhagen, Denmark. The scientific and social programmes will remain unaffected.

ESPID is the major global conference dedicated to paediatric infectious diseases, that brings together professionals who want to stay up to date on state-of-the art science and clinical care, present their research, and develop new collaborations. This years' scientific content will include talks by world-known clinical experts and researchers and will span the entire spectrum of diagnosis, management, and care of both immunocompetent and immunocompromised children with infectious diseases. As always, promoting health and prosperity in children, regardless of their nationality or social status, is the overarching goal of ESPID and its' members.

We encourage you all to submit your work. An essential aspect of our annual meeting is the opportunity to bring together the extended ESPID "family," reconnect with old friends, and make new acquaintances. Your unwavering support during these challenging times is truly invaluable, and we look forward to your scientific contribution to ESPID 2024, now in Copenhagen, Denmark, and thank you in advance for your support in making the annual meeting a success.

With best wishes,
