Canadian Society of Microbiologists Annual Conference 2029

Business Events Victoria has been extremely helpful throughout the process

"We volunteered to help bring Canadian Society of Microbiologists annual meeting in 2029 to Victoria because we see it as a great opportunity to gather our colleagues together to share new research, build collaborations, and strengthen connections across the scientific community. Just as importantly, the meeting will give trainees the chance to present their work, meet researchers from across the country, and develop their own professional networks. We were also excited by the opportunity to showcase Victoria as a great place to do science and to host a national scientific meeting. Business Events Victoria has been extremely helpful throughout the process, working closely with us as co-chairs and with CSM to navigate the planning requirements and determine how we can deliver a successful and engaging conference in Victoria in 2029."
