Our meeting in Kuala Lumpur hosted by the Ministry of Health, Malaysia will again welcome delegates from over 100 countries. The program will include plenary talks by world renowned experts in the science of infectious diseases and important topics critically presented by international luminaries in our field. Moreover, there will be great opportunities to spend time with leaders in the field, exchange ideas and develop collaborations with scientists from distinguished Medical Centers around the globe. All who are committed to the prevention and control of infections worldwide will find this a compelling meeting that should not be missed.
Founded in 1857, Kuala Lumpur is the legislative capital city of Malaysia. Visitors will see the diverse Malaysian culture blended with evocative British colonial buildings, the midnight lamps of Petaling Street Nightmarket and the PETRONAS Towers. I look forward to meeting you in person in Kuala Lumpur in June 2008.
