Preventing healthcare associated infections remains one of the health system’s most urgent operational challenges. In September 2027 Geneva hosts an edition focused on clinical evidence, antimicrobial resistance and practical infection prevention measures.
Dates and venue for ICPIC 2027 in Geneva
ICPIC International Conference on Prevention & Infection Control 2027 takes place from 14 to 16 September 2027 at the CiCG Geneva - Geneva international Conference Center. Registration details and participation formats are available through the official site.
Programme highlights and key figures
The congress lists more than 100 oral free papers and 500 selected posters. Accepted abstracts will be published in ARIC, the conference’s official journal, which appears with an impact factor of 6.1. All sessions will be recorded and made available after the meeting on the ICPIC learning portal, extending the reach of selected presentations.
The programme also includes the ICPIC Innovation Academy and the ICPIC Clip Award. Companies are invited to present services and products at the exhibition or during sponsored integrated symposia.
Scientific leadership and invited chairs
Prof. Didier Pittet serves as Chair and Prof. Stephan Harbarth as Co-Chair. Their roles frame the conference’s clinical and academic orientation and signal relevance for hospital infection prevention teams and antimicrobial stewardship groups.
How to prepare B2B outreach at ICPIC 2027
- Target decision units rather than broad departments. Focus on infection prevention teams, hospital pharmacies and clinical governance committees.
- Bring concise clinical evidence. Study summaries, validation data and infection reduction metrics perform better than general marketing collateral.
- Schedule focused 20-minute meetings and circulate an agenda in advance. Clinical teams respond to clear objectives and measurable outcomes.
- Tailor demonstrations for clinical settings. Show compatibility with existing protocols and details on cleaning, sterilization or regulatory compliance when applicable.
- Offer hybrid follow-up materials. Recorded demos and downloadable technical dossiers help continue conversations with stakeholders unable to attend in person.
Practical notes on registration and abstracts
Abstract submission notifications are indicated for the period from 1 December 2026 to 13 May 2027. The Early Bird registration deadline is shown as 14 April 2027. Selected sessions will feature simultaneous interpretation into French according to the programme notes. Sponsor and exhibitor visibility options are outlined by the organisers.
Final thought and action
If your activity serves clinical decision makers or infection control programs, align your materials to clinical evidence and schedule meetings ahead of the conference week. Full event information, registration and sponsorship options are available at https://conference.icpic.com/.
