Success for Virtual Microbiology & Infectious Disease Summit: Online meeting reaches 800,000+ scientists & clinicians
Scientists and clinicians come together online to share knowledge and discuss technology solutions in the field of microbiology and infectious disease
6 Jun 2022
Thousands of clinical scientists, clinical researchers, and healthcare professionals from around the world came together online during the SelectScience Microbiology & Infectious Disease Summit earlier this month.
The SelectScience® Virtual Summits offer a crucial platform for the science industry to continue to connect, share knowledge, and provide technology solutions in order to advance science and health at this critical time. The meetings provide a unique opportunity for like-minded professionals to gather regardless of travel restrictions or staffing capacity, enabling more people than ever before to collaborate and share knowledge together.
With a packed agenda of ‘live’ webinar presentations and virtual exhibit booths, this one-day event on 17 May was a huge success. Hundreds of live viewers attended the presentations given by leading doctors and scientists, took part in busy and interactive Q&A sessions with the speakers, and visited the virtual exhibit booths.
Presentations were given on topics including malaria, meningitis, sepsis, and the role of the microbiome in healthcare, from the great minds working at the forefront of healthcare and clinical research. Thousands of people working in all areas of microbiology signed up to attend the Summit and interest was extremely high due to the calibre of the speakers and the hot topics being discussed on the day. The event content also reached over 720,000 people online as word of the activities spread quickly on social media.
Speakers at the Summit included Professor Richard Moxon, emeritus professor of pediatrics at the University of Oxford, Dr. Jane Achan, medical doctor and senior research advisor for the Malaria Consortium, Dr. Anthony Hobson, clinical GI scientist and clinical director of the Functional Gut Clinic, Dr. Ron Daniels, NHS intensive care consultant and founder of the UK Sepsis Trust, Dr. Federica Bernardini, senior postdoctoral researcher at Imperial College London, Dr. Raul Cano from The BioCollective, Sten Westgard, director of client services and technology for Westgard QC, and Dr. Jose Alexander from AdventHealth, Orlando.
A number of manufacturers also presented the latest technologies available, including Beckman Coulter Diagnostics, Sartorius, New England BioLabs, BioEcho Life Sciences, and Molzym. All presentations are now available to view on demand.
