The 17th International Pathogenic Neisseria Conference (IPNC 2010) will be held in Banff, Alberta, Canada from the 11th to 16th of September, 2010. A welcome reception will be scheduled for the evening of Saturday September 11th and will end with the conference banquet on the evening of Thursday September 16th.

The meeting will be held in the heart of the Canadian Rockies in a secluded, yet accessible venue that is an ideal setting for exchanging ideas during scientific sessions, or while exploring nature’s wonders. The IPNC covers a broad range of topics ranging from Neisserial genetics, surface structures, and host-pathogen interactions, to epidemiology and vaccine development. We plan to provide a flexible program that will enable you to satisfy your appetite for the latest developments in the field and carry on discussions while taking in the awe-inspiring surroundings.
