Dear Friends, Peers and Industry Members,
We are very excited to invite you to the ISHAM Asia Congress, the seminal event bringing worldwide developments in medical mycology to across continental Asia and the Asia-Pacific.
ISHAM Asia 2026, organized jointly by ISHAM and ISHAM’s Asia Fungal Working Group, will gather over 500 attendees from continental Asia and the Asia-Pacific and afar, as well as an assembly of the world’s leading experts from at least 12 countries and regions. This third installment of the congress will put state-of-the-art updates in medical mycology into continental Asia and the Asia-Pacific context and provide an international arena for scientific exchange.
ISHAM Asia 2026 strives to deliver the longest lasting experience for participants, sponsors and exhibitors. The 2.5-day Main Congress program provides the latest information delivered through a variety of sessions including: plenary, multi-stream specialty update symposia, meet the expert, challenging clinical cases, and oral and poster presentations. We also have an exhibition room, showcasing the latest research, products and equipment available for the diagnosis and management of invasive mold and fungal infections.
Before the Main Congress, we are also organizing a day-long Pre-Congress Medical Mycology Training Network (MMTN) Workshop that seeks to equip young doctors and researchers with the practical and relevant basics in medical mycology diagnostics and management.
We warmly invite you to be a part of the most important medical mycology event Asia has ever seen and look forward to greeting you in Kuala Lumpur.
