Special Interest Satellite Symposia (SISS) are designed to dive deep into specific HPV-related topics, providing a platform for expert presentations and interactive discussions that engage the audience.
Further, they provide the opportunity for IPVS members to shape the conference content.
Special Interest Satellite Symposia are changing!

What’s new for the IPVS Conference in 2025:

• Only in person Special Interest Satellite Symposia will be available
• Interdisciplinary symposia are highly encouraged
• Any HPV-related topic is welcomed
• Submission not by category, but by using 3-5 keywords

The IPVS welcomes your suggestions for special interest satellite symposia for the IPVS Conference in 2025.

Practical information:
Special Interest Satellite Symposia need to be comprised of presentations that are distinct from what would be submitted through the regular abstract review process. Ensure the content is thought provoking to encourage discussion during the symposia and beyond.

Following the deadline, there will be a review process, and the Scientific Committee will choose which sessions to include as part of the scientific program.

The Nominator of the satellite should ensure that proposed chairs and speakers are agreeable and available to participate in principle although it should also be made clear that, until review and assessment by the IPVS committee, no proposals will be guaranteed a session given only a finite number of slots are available. These are highly competitive, with usually fewer than 10% being selected for presentation at the conference. Only the Nominator will receive a notification on the results of his submission.

The deadline for submission is Monday, March 17th, 2025.

The Organizers and the IPVS will not cover any registration fees, accommodation or travel expenses for Special Satellite Symposium Sessions’ Chairs and Speakers.
