Industry Programme

Each session highlights state-of-the-art technologies and/or procedures related to the clinical microbiology and infectious disease fields. Presentation content is evaluated to ensure scientific integrity and no promotional content.

A designated space for short presentations highlighting the latest products of participating industry partners to a small audience of up to 70 people. Organisers here can showcase the latest innovations and developments or products to targeted audiences in a theatre style 20 minute presentation. This is the only session in which ESCMID does not screen the content prior to the congress and promotional content (e.g. product placement) is allowed.

Integrated Workshops are educational sessions organised and funded by industry partners, and they form an additional component of ESCMID Global’s Education Friday programme. These half-day or full-day workshops are carefully evaluated by the Programme Committee to ensure scientific integrity and cannot have promotional content. These new sessions can employ alternative or innovative formats, including interactive discussion, small group work, etc. and organisers are encouraged to pursue such formats.
