The 2026 RSTMH Annual Meeting is a two-day, in-person global health meeting at the Wellcome Collection in London. It is designed for RSTMH members, Fellows and supporters from a wide range of disciplines and career stages, with approximately 150 international delegates expected. The programme is organised around equitable partnerships: South–South and North–South collaborations, community–academic work, public–private partnerships, relationships between universities and policy makers, and cooperation between NGOs and Ministries of Health. Ten announced speakers bring experience from microbiology, antimicrobial resistance, health systems, vector biology, neglected tropical diseases, public health delivery and research equity. Registration is open, with early-bird tickets available until 14 August 2026. The two-day booking page lists a student non-member ticket at £215, an early-career member ticket at £322 and an early-bird non-member ticket at £330; member and LMIC concessions are also available. A drinks reception from 17:00 on Thursday is included in delegate registration and is intended to support networking and new collaborations. The source does not yet publish an abstract call, detailed timetable, CPD accreditation or a general registration closing date, so these remain unconfirmed.
