Microbiology Society Annual Conference 2027

The Microbiology Society Annual Conference 2027 runs from Monday 12 to Thursday 15 April at ICC Birmingham. The Society describes a four-day programme spanning scientific symposia, workshops, fora, professional development sessions, Prize Lectures and Hot Topics, with the breadth expected of its annual flagship meeting. It is aimed at microbiologists and infection researchers across career stages, and is relevant to medical microbiology and infectious-disease trainees seeking research exposure and national networking.

The Society has not yet published the 2027 call for abstracts, submission deadline, detailed author instructions, topic categories, word limit or required structure. The 2027 exhibition and sponsorship section does explicitly refer to oral and poster presenters, confirming those presentation routes. For planning context, the official 2025 and 2026 archives show the Society's recent process: the 2025 call used Oxford Abstracts, welcomed both Society members and non-members, treated submission as a commitment to attend, and asked session organisers to select offered talks or posters using the abstract itself. The archived calls say accepted work is published in the online programme or poster abstract book. These are prior-cycle specifications and must be rechecked when the 2027 call opens; no prior-year deadline has been carried forward.

Full registration is also not open: the live page currently offers only a register-interest form. No 2027 delegate fees, registration deadline, CPD accreditation or points, confirmed speakers, or detailed timetable are yet published. The confirmed physical venue is ICC Birmingham, and the Society is using #Microbio27 with @MicrobioSoc and @microbiologysociety.org for announcements.
