We look forward to welcoming around 1500 participants to the Public Health England Annual Conference 2019,representing the wide range of organisations working together to improve the health of the public. Over two days there will be the opportunity to learn, share experience and network.

The five track conference programme will focus on some of the areas where we can collectively make the greatest improvements in health and reduce health inequalities. Initial information about the sessions is now available (including some organised by Faculty of Public Health) and further details will be added over the next few weeks. 

Sessions are designed to include plenty of time for discussion to benefit from the wealth of experience of participants. Speakers will include renowned experts and those with practical experience in putting evidence into action at local level. We are delighted to have the participation of Rt Hon Matt Hancock MP, Secretary of State for Health and Social Care who will give a keynote address on the second day of the conference.

Important examples of innovative work in public health will be made available in the associated ePosters displayed throughout the conference. Abstracts are now invited for innovations in research and the application of evidence into practice. The deadline for submissions is midnight on Wednesday 8 May.

If you book to attend both days of the conference and stay on campus, you have the opportunity to attend a pre-conference workshop, a breakfast discussion session, the networking conference dinner and join one of the early morning activities.

We are excited to once again assemble many of the leading clinicians and scientists from around the world for the 9th Advances Against Aspergillosis and Mucormycosis conference, to take place in Lugano, Switzerland from 27th to 29th February 2020. This conference has now clearly established itself as the premier forum for detailed and dedicated discussion of all aspects of Aspergillus infection and research. Beginning with the 8th conference, we have expanded to now include scientific sessions on mucormycosis pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment.

The Aspergillus field continues in a state of rapid advancement, including the publication of numerous post-genomic papers and substantial advances in translational, immunologic, epidemiologic and diagnostic research. The mucormycosis field is similarly advancing with novel studies in pathogenesis and diagnostic options. The launch of several antifungals in the last few years and anticipated clinical trials of newer compounds with novel mechanisms of action is an exciting time for mycology. Pan-azole, and echinocandin Aspergillus resistance has emerged and requires unique approaches, and combination therapy remains an important area of interest for both aspergillosis and mucormycosis. Greatly increased awareness of allergic aspergillosis has opened new opportunities for both antifungal agents and immunotherapies. New molecular strategies for diagnosis continue to make progress, and recent guidelines offer increased diagnostic insight. There is a continuing high death toll from invasive aspergillosis and mucormycosis, including patient groups not usually associated with this opportunistic infection. This meeting is another chance to gather the world’s aspergillosis and mucormycosis experts in one venue. A fundamental tenet of this colloquium continues to be to engender collaborative relationships amongst clinicians, scientists, and industry to further advance the field.

The conference will be held in charming Lugano, a vibrant European city with excellent transport links. It is also conveniently located for post-conference touring of educational, historic, and lovely areas of Switzerland and nearby Italy. Continuing education credit will be arranged through the Royal College of Physicians in London, which will provide appropriate CPD and CME credit for participants.

The Scientific Committee is being assembled, and the Scientific Committee Chair selected for this 9th meeting will be Prof. Cornelia Lass-Florl of Innsbruck, Austria. Speakers will be selected who are actively advancing the field with new discoveries. We again anticipate a truly international speaker list, and almost all the speakers will not have spoken at a recent Advances Against Aspergillosis meeting, in order to attract and display new talent and perspectives in the topic area. By our design, the majority of the newest published literature and hypotheses in the entire field have originated from the planned speakers of this conference. We anticipate more oral presentations from the excellent selection of abstracts always received, and in each of the last meetings we published approximately 200 abstracts. Ample time for discussion, and informal exchanges between participants, will again be planned. After each of the previous meetings, a journal supplement was published, containing key papers presented.

As Advances Against Aspergillosis has become the leading global meeting for basic and clinical science regarding Aspergillus, its efforts form one of the foundations of the repository of knowledge about this pathogen; 267 papers will have been published in 9 Supplements, comprising >2000 pages of full papers, as well as the 1,429 abstracts from these meetings in the programs.

Because of the international success of the Advances Against Aspergillosis meetings in raising awareness of filamentous fungal infections, we were requested by leading clinicians and scientists studying the Zygomycetes and mucormycosis if we would expand our program to also provide a home and venue for presentations on this related science and its devastating clinical entities. We did this in the 2018 program to include a new platform for that discipline, and will expand that further in the 2020 conference program.

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

On behalf of the WSPID Board and the International Scientific Committee, it is my great pleasure to invite you to the 11th World Congress of the World Society for Pediatric Infectious Diseases (WSPID), taking place in Manila, the Philippines, on November 5-8, 2019.

In 2017, we enjoyed a wonderful congress in Shenzhen, China, with 1745 delegates from over 70 countries. We now look forward to welcoming you all to Manila for another global educational and networking event that will again present a unique opportunity to learn from each other and to meet with colleagues from all parts of the world. Our International Scientific Committee is not only lining up a diverse and interesting selection of regional and international speakers but also working hard on developing new and improved ways of interaction and education.

We are delighted to organize our 2019 congress in partnership with the Pediatric Infectious Disease Society of the Philippines, and we have been impressed by the enthusiasm and expertise that the members of the Society have shown in developing the congress and in adding local flavor into it.

Manila, the capital of the Philippines, is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities, which makes it rich in history. Besides enjoying the congress, we invite you to take the opportunity to explore some of the famous sights in the city, be it art galleries, museums, architecture, local restaurants, or the oldest Chinatown in the world, established in 1594.

We look forward to warmly welcoming you to Manila!

Yours sincerely,

Terho Heikkinen

President, World Society for Pediatric Infectious Diseases

 The meeting moves for the first time out of its Barts beginnings to the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre, located in Westminster in the heart of London. Another first is the joint format with international (ISHAM, ECDC, ECMM and EPMyN) and UK national societies (BMS, BSAC and BSBMT) leading parallel sessions, along with the plenary talks.

 An outstanding international faculty will present the latest issues in the field of mycology. The topics covered will be wide ranging: point-of care fungal diagnostics; the ever present challenge of fungal diseases in haemato-oncolgy; candida and global women’s health and resistant vulvovaginal candidiasis; the Candida auris story so far; the rise of invasive aspergillosis complicating severe influenza, the new phenomenon of CNS aspergillosis in previously low-risk patient groups with kinase-inhibitors for cancer, as well as the underlying immunological host-pathogen interactions at play in these two settings…and even basic plant and animal mycological research!

 One more novelty for Fungal Update 2019, the organisers ask you to submit abstracts for consideration as poster and oral presentations and we hope to publish the proceedings of the meeting, including accepted abstracts in a peer-reviewed journal.

We hope one final innovation is not a step too far? The traditional Friday evening congress dinner will be held in the Houses of Parliament, but places will be limited.
