The opening keynote will be given by antibiotic resistance patient advocate and social media expert, Vanessa Carter , also a long-standing member of the Doctors 2.0 & You ambassador network. Patients are not only speakers, but have participated in the program design, the venue is fully accessible, and attending patient expenses are covered in advance by the organizers. Finally, the conference will be live-streamed.

ICPIC is thereby, for the first time,  a “patient-included conference” and given all the activities in support of patient involvement, a partner of Doctors 2.0.

Watch the brief welcome video below, and come back soon for more about #ICPIC2019. Denise Silber will participate to moderate several sessions and to report on the event through interviews with patients and clinicians and via social media.

ICPIC  has this account on Twitter  and this page on Facebook.

The European Society for Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ESCMID), the Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America (SHEA), the Asia Pacific Society of Infection Control (APSIC), the Infection Control Africa Network (ICAN) and the World Health Organization (WHO) are all represented at the event.

ICPIC keynotes, symposia, Pro-Con debates, free-papers and meet-the-expert sessions will continue, as will the unique and very popular ICPIC Innovation Academy and ICPIC Clip Award, as well as new features.
