Abstract Submission Deadline: June 1, 2026
Registration Deadline: August 1, 2026

The International Conference on Innate Immune Memory will bring together leading scientists, trainees, and clinicians to explore the latest breakthroughs in trained immunity, emerging research directions, and translational opportunities. A key focus of the meeting is to bridge modern medical discoveries with the evolutionary foundations of innate immune memory in plants and invertebrates, highlighting how insights from each discipline can mutually advance the field. World leaders in innate immune memory will present their newest findings and perspectives on how trained immunity can shape future strategies to promote health. Trainees will be strongly encouraged to share their work, engage in rigorous scientific discussion, and connect with experts and peers from around the globe.

Objectives of the International Conference on Innate Immune Memory:

• To bring together the latest international research efforts and advances on the evolutionary aspects and molecular mechanisms of trained immunity.
• To lay the groundwork for effective networking to further investigate the therapeutic potential of trained immunity in human disease and in the novel generation of vaccines.
• To offer trainees in this field of immunology an opportunity to present their research and engage in career and professional development activities.
