World Melioidosis Congress, Darwin 2024

Esteemed Colleagues,

We are delighted to extend our warmest invitation to you for the 10th World Melioidosis Congress, set against the breathtaking backdrop of Darwin, NT, Australia. This vibrant city is not only a hub for groundbreaking medical research but also the proud home of the Aboriginal Australians, the world's oldest known civilisation, with a rich heritage spanning an incredible 75,000 years.

As we embark on this exciting journey together, we are not just diving into the depths of melioidosis exploration but immersing ourselves in a cultural tapestry like no other. Darwin promises an experience that goes beyond the conference walls, offering a unique blend of learnings and cultural richness.

Under the theme "Unity in Diversity: Global Solutions to Melioidosis," our congress aims to forge connections that transcend borders. We have curated a dynamic program that delves into the medical, environmental, and genomic dimensions of melioidosis, featuring leading experts from around the globe. This gathering is an opportunity to foster collaboration, exchange insights, and discover solutions that will have a lasting impact on the global fight against melioidosis.

Your presence is not just a registration; it is a contribution to a shared vision of advancing melioidosis exploration. We believe that the benefits of your attendance will extend far beyond the duration of the congress, leaving a lasting legacy in the field and influencing positive change worldwide.

Join us in Darwin for an unforgettable blend of knowledge, camaraderie, and cultural immersion. We look forward to hosting you and collectively shaping the future of melioidosis research.
