FOCIS 2023 Annual Meeting

Join us in Boston for the 23rd Annual Meeting of the Federation of Clinical Immunology Societies (FOCIS 2023). 

FOCIS is THE meeting in translational immunology that will give you a competitive edge in your career. Stay ahead of the curve with leading clinicians and researchers delivering the latest breakthroughs across immune-mediated diseases. Focusing on molecular pathways and their implications in human disease provides the unique opportunity for innovative thinking and applying ideas from the pathologies of other diseases to uncover novel solutions to challenges in the diseases you study.

Through the FOCIS Annual Meeting, researchers and clinicians share knowledge across traditional disease borders, and identify commonalities between treatments and therapies that are life changing for those affected with immune-mediated diseases. From the introduction of monoclonal antibodies in clinical practice — to recent advances in cancer immunotherapy – the past two decades have been transformational for patients living with immune-mediated diseases.

FOCIS 2023 will take place, in person, June 20-23, 2023, at the Boston Marriott Copley Place.

Your Health and Safety
Your health and safety remain a top priority to FOCIS. The Annual Meeting will be held fully in person, and we are committed to keeping you safe.

Important Dates and Deadlines

  • Member Society Symposia at FOCIS 2023: Tuesday, June 20, 2023

Logistics

Member Societies host and coordinate their own symposium. FOCIS does not coordinate speaker slide collection nor run the slides. All symposium chairs and speakers should be prepared to coordinate speaker slides. There will be a dedicated A/V tech that can assist with any issues/questions, as well as FOCIS staff on-hand for additional assistance.

FOCIS will provide complimentary meeting space, audio visual equipment (laptop, projector and screen, slide advancer, lectern mic), and one coffee break (coffee, decaf, tea) in the shared hallway outside your room.

Speaker Registration

All Member Society symposia speakers need to register for FOCIS 2023 and make their own travel and accommodation arrangements. All speakers must be registered for FOCIS 2023 by Friday, April 7, 2023.

Speakers are eligible for a 50% reimbursement of their registration if they stay for the duration of FOCIS 2023 and complete the FOCIS 2023 attendee evaluation available after the event.

We encourage your society to consider covering the speaker’s registration, and upon completion of the evaluation, your society will receive the 50% reimbursement.
