HPV research is threading basic science into clinical practice and public health implementation. In October, Athens hosts the 38th Annual Conference that gathers basic researchers, clinicians and public health professionals focused on papillomaviruses and related diseases.
Scientific program and highlighted workshops
Ipvs 2026 features plenary sessions, keynotes and themed tracks spanning basic science, clinical research and public health. The program includes hands-on workshops such as the Implementation Science Workshop, High-Resolution Anoscopy Workshop and Beyond the Colposcope Workshop. There are also head and neck symposia, an HPV awareness track and CME/CPD accreditation for attendees.
The conference maintains multiple presentation formats: abstracts, oral presentations, posters and flash talks. Important calendar items listed include a late-breaking submission opening on July 13 and an early registration deadline on July 22.
Practical information and registration
Ipvs 2026 runs from October 22 to 25 in Athens. The organizers provide logistics guidance on how to get to the city, hotels and local transport. Registration is available for individuals and groups and the conference lists travel grants and scholarships to support attendance. Additional services include a pre-order lunch box option and an online floor plan with confirmed sponsors and exhibitors.
Attendee profile and prospecting opportunities
The conference brings together researchers, clinicians and health professionals active in papillomavirus science and care. For commercial teams in diagnostics, therapeutics or implementation, the most relevant interactions typically occur around technical sessions and within the exhibition area where sponsors and exhibitors present solutions.
Ipvs 2026 schedules official networking events and provides industry toolkits, enabling targeted outreach to delegates and sponsors who match your technical offering.
Practical prospecting tips for Athens
- Map the program and mark sessions where speakers and topics align with your product or service.
- Use the online floor plan and sponsor list to plan booth visits and meeting slots.
- Check travel grant and scholarship options to offset travel costs.
- Leverage organized networking events and social media ambassadors to request short meetings between sessions.
Frame outreach around concise technical evidence or implementation data rather than broad marketing claims.
