40th Annual Conference on Pediatric Infectious Diseases

Vail, CO US
July 30, 2023 to August 4, 2023

Conference Overview

We are excited to return to Vail, Colorado for the 40th Annual Conference on Pediatric Infectious Diseases. Because of the pandemic, we will be holding a hybrid conference. You can choose to come in-person (Live Attendance) or to attend virtually (Virtual Attendance).

Vail is a small community nestled in the mountains and a short, beautiful drive from Denver, Colorado. The in-person conference will take place at The Lodge at Vail (lodgeatvail.rockresorts.com), which is located in the heart of Vail Village.

This conference presents topics of interest to pediatric, family practice and infectious diseases clinicians, as well as other health professionals. Speakers cover the most recent information on diagnosis, management, and prevention of infections in pediatrics. Discussion of controversial issues and questions follow each presentation. This conference is designed to promote information interchange; therefore, registration is limited.

To celebrate our 40th anniversary, we have invited six distinguished guest speakers from across the U.S., all of whom are graduates of our fellowship.

We have reached our maximum attendance limit for in-person registration. You are welcome to register to attend virtually. Virtual registration remains open through July 21.
