We are thrilled to invite you to the 8^th International Conference on Prevention & Infection Control (ICPIC), taking place in the beautiful city of Geneva, Switzerland, from 16-19 September 2025.

ICPIC stands as the premier gathering for the global infection prevention and control (IPC) community, dedicated to advancing the field through cutting-edge research, innovative solutions, and the exchange of invaluable experiences. Our mission remains steadfast: to prevent healthcare-associated infections and control antimicrobial resistance, and improve patient and healthcare worker safety worldwide.

This year, our conference will delve into an array of crucial topics, including hand hygiene, artificial intelligence (AI)/machine learning, antibiotic stewardship, surgical site infection prevention, new techniques and approaches in environmental hygiene, environmental responsibility and eco-friendly solutions in IPC, as well as diagnostic and clinical microbiology challenges for IPC.

We extend a special invitation to nurses and allied health professionals, who are integral to our community. Our scientific advisory board has curated symposia that address the unique challenges faced by these vital members of the healthcare team.

In collaboration with international agencies and societies such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America (SHEA), and the World Health Organization (WHO), ICPIC will bring together world-renowned experts and key opinion leaders to share their knowledge and insights.

Our program will feature keynotes, symposia, Pro-Con debates, free-paper sessions, and meet-the-expert opportunities, along with the highly anticipated ICPIC Innovation Academy and ICPIC Clip Award. Simultaneous translation into French will again be offered for selected sessions. Building on the long-lasting success of previous conferences, we will introduce new features to further enhance your experience and opportunities for peer exchange.

We eagerly anticipate your participation in the 8th ICPIC and look forward to welcoming you to Geneva. Please mark your calendars and prepare for an inspiring and enriching event.
