- Vaccine development and delivery systems
Interest group sessions are two-hour minisymposia held on the first day of the meeting, March 23.
Organizers will secure a lineup of diverse speakers and create ample time for Q&A, panel discussions and networking to facilitate community building.
Submit a proposal to lead an interest group.
Decisions will be sent by Oct. 26, at which time a final speaker list will be required.
