Early registration deadline September 20th 2016

Poster submissions deadline October 25th 2016

INSTRUCTIONS


Meeting description: The ever increasing rise in drug resistance has been described as a major threat not only to public health, but also to global security. The emergence of resistant and multi-resistant strains of infectious diseases is largely attributed to antibiotic misuse in both the human and animal populations, along with spread between human and non-human sources. This event will consolidate recent research into the development and spread of antibiotic resistance and its clinical impact, and explore a range of approaches to tackle rising levels, including methods for infection control and monitoring of resistant strains, as well as novel therapeutic intervention strategies to reduce conventional antibiotic use.


Who Should Attend:  This event is targeted at those with an interest in the rising levels of antibiotic resistance and in strategies aimed at overcoming drug resistance and developing new antimicrobial therapies, including academics, clinicians and pharmaceutical professionals.

Why attend a Live Streamed Event

As Euroscicon are the first to run virtual Life Science conferences we thought you might be unfamiliar with the benefits of attending.  

Please view these meetings as you would a usual conference,  but with the following advantages

  • Less travel time means more time for you at work and at home`
  • Access the whole event from the com­fort of your own home or office
  • Reg­is­tra­tion Fees are much less than a “bricks and mor­tar” event
  • No expen­di­ture on hotels and sundries
  • Con­nect with a larger and more global audi­ence, many of whom may have not attended due to cost and travel constraints
  • Catch up on missed talks in the evening or your free time
  • No flight delays, pass­port con­trol or secu­rity checks
  • Jug­gle work demands with con­fer­ence attendance
  • Dip in and out of talks with­out being noticed
  • No pack­ing and unpack­ing and won­der­ing whether your lug­gage will make it through to the other side
  • Access all con­fer­ence mate­ri­als and audio online for 1 month after the event
  • Eas­ily locate con­fer­ence atten­dees and arrange a con­fer­ence call, rather than search­ing hotel lob­bies for your clients
  • Save hun­dreds of thou­sands of gal­lons of air fuel because of the aggre­gate efforts of attendees
