Despite preventing over 4 million deaths annually, vaccines remain elusive for many of the world’s deadliest diseases—largely due to gaps in our understanding of immune protection. Recent advances in immunological tools, antigen design, adjuvants, and AI are now reshaping how we more strategically approach vaccine design through an immunology lens.

This meeting will unite global leaders in immunology, infectious disease and vaccinology to address key immunological challenges and explore innovative solutions for next-generation vaccines. Topics include training durable T/B cell responses, inducing tissue-resident immunity, and defining immune correlates of protection. By focusing on the immune system rather than just the pathogen, the meeting aims to bridge disciplines, catalyze collaboration, and accelerate vaccine innovation across infectious disease and oncology.

Antimicrobial resistance is one of the most pressing global public health threats and the greatest challenge infectious diseases today. This Keystone Symposium aims to bring together world leaders focused on innovative strategies to combat drug-resistant bacterial infections. The program will highlight emerging treatments across a range of clinically relevant pathogens, with a focus on three key strategies: bacteriophage therapy, microbiome-based medicine, and harnessing host immunity.

By integrating basic and applied research, the meeting will foster collaboration across disciplines and career stages. Interactive sessions will explore both scientific opportunities and regulatory challenges, creating a forum for dialogue among researchers, clinicians, industry, and government agencies. This dynamic and diverse gathering is designed to spark new collaborations and drive transformative breakthroughs against deadly multi-drug-resistant bacterial infections.

The Preventive Health Conference is an important conference on the public health calendar. Convened by the Public Health Association of Australia (PHAA), the Preventive Health Conference is an annual conference aimed at providing a platform to engage, challenge and exchange ideas, where pivotal issues for building prevention in Australia are discussed and where delegates can learn from the experience, opinions and perspectives of sector leaders and their peers. Attendance is in person or watch plenary sessions online live via the ‘Plenary Hub’ portal.

Last year’s theme, “Prevention is Political”, highlighted the critical role of political will in shaping health outcomes. It reminded us that prevention is not just a public health issue—it’s a matter of policy, power, and priorities. This year, we build on that momentum by asking: how do we make prevention as enduring and essential as other long-term political commitments—like climate action, education, and infrastructure? “Sustaining Prevention” challenges us to embed prevention into the very fabric of our systems, ensuring it is funded, supported, and championed for decades to come.

The 2026 Preventive Health Conference theme is: ‘Sustaining Prevention’

Benaroya Research Institute's third annual immunology symposium, New Horizons in Immunity and Disease, will take place on Tuesday, May 5, 2026. Due to strong interest and enthusiastic support from the immunology community, we’re relocating this year’s event to Bell Harbor International Conference Center in Seattle, a larger venue that will better accommodate our growing audience.

We’re excited to once again bring together leading voices from the local and national immunology research community for a day of collaboration, discovery, discussion and connection. Building on two years of full houses, dynamic presentations, and meaningful dialogue, this year’s symposium is set to continue that momentum.

The TNNN Conference 2026 will be held 6-8 May in Trondheim. The conference will mainly take place at the campus of Gløshaugen.

The conference will begin with lunch on Wednesday, May 6, and will end on Friday, May 8, after lunch.

APP Summits focus on foundational education for relevant disease states and therapies, APP integration models, and data systems. Networking and open dialogue between attendees, peers, and manufact.urer sponsors is also a core goal of the meeting.

Who should attend: Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants.
