RELATED CONFERENCES

As part of our commitment to strengthening connections across the field, we encourage WCRHD 2026 delegates to also consider related conferences taking place around the globe. Further details on each can be found below.

The First Global Strep A Vaccine Conference will take place in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, from 2–5 February 2027. Coming at a time of growing momentum in the field, this landmark meeting will bring together the full range of stakeholders working on Strep A vaccine research and development to strengthen coordination, share knowledge and plan the actions needed to reach a vaccine with global impact.

The Call for Abstracts is now open, with a submission deadline of 7 September. Organisers are keen to the broader community addressing rheumatic heart disease, including colleagues from low- and middle-income countries, and a limited amount of travel support is available to help facilitate broad participation.
