Because of the enthusiastic response to the inaugural meeting, IMED 2007, which attracted over 600 participants from 65 countries, IMED 2009 will expand to 3 full days of sessions and include more opportunities for oral presentations of submitted abstracts. With outstanding plenary speakers, symposia by expert panels, and both oral and poster presentations of submitted abstracts, IMED 2009 is certain to be the year’s major conference for those involved in the detection, monitoring and study of emerging pathogens and to those in the front lines of response. We look forward to seeing you in Vienna.
