Dear Colleagues,
It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the World Conference on Infectious Diseases (WCID-2026), taking place from March 12–14, 2026, in the magnificent city of Paris, France, with hybrid access available for participants worldwide.
WCID-2026 serves as a premier international platform bringing together leading scientists, clinicians, researchers, public health professionals, and industry experts to discuss the latest advances, challenges, and innovations in infectious diseases. The conference will feature plenary and keynote lectures, oral and poster presentations, and interactive scientific discussions, fostering meaningful collaboration across disciplines and borders.
As the field of infectious diseases continues to evolve rapidly, evidence-based research, methodological rigor, and global cooperation are more critical than ever. This conference aims to promote high-quality science, encourage transparent and reproducible research, and translate scientific findings into impactful public health and clinical practice.
Whether you join us in person in Paris or participate virtually, I warmly invite you to share your research, exchange ideas, and engage with the global infectious diseases community. Your participation will be essential in shaping future directions in research, policy, and patient care.
I look forward to welcoming you to WCID-2026 and to an inspiring and successful scientific meeting.
Warm regards,

About Venue
About Venue and Getting There
Tokyo, located in Japan’s Kanto region, is the nation’s capital and a global city known for its seamless blend of tradition and innovation. From the historic charm of Asakusa and the majestic Meiji Shrine to the neon-lit districts of Shinjuku and Shibuya, Tokyo offers an unmatched cultural and urban experience. The city is a world leader in fashion, technology, and cuisine, with everything from Michelin-starred sushi to cozy ramen shops lining its bustling streets. Tokyo’s extensive and efficient public transportation network including the Tokyo Metro, Toei Subway, and JR Yama note Line ensures smooth access to its countless districts and attractions.
Getting to Tokyo by Air:
Tokyo is served by two major international airports: Narita International Airport (NRT) and Haneda Airport (HND). Haneda, located closer to the city center (about 20 km), handles
both domestic and international flights and is known for its convenience and speed. Narita, approximately 60 km from central Tokyo, connects with cities across Asia, Europe, and the Americas. Both airports are well-linked to Tokyo via express trains like the Narita Express and Tokyo Monorail, making travel to the heart of the city fast and efficient.
