Symposium Proposal Notifications

All proposals will undergo a consistent and meticulous review by the Scientific committee when being considered for a session in the scientific program.

We are organizing the scientific program for the upcoming 37th Annual Conference of the International Papillomavirus Society (IPVS 2025) and welcome proposals for Special Interest Satellite Symposia.

The 2025 conference theme is “Research toward the global elimination of HPV-related
diseases and cancers“.

Session types: A wide range of proposals covering the fields of basic science, public health and clinical science will be considered.

Session structure: The program can accommodate slots that are 60 or 90 minutes long; two chairs maximum and 3-5 presentations.

Proposals will be vetted and accepted based on scientific rigor and topical relevance to the conference for a limited spot in the Scientific program.

IPVS aims to have a program that is balanced for gender and geography. We appreciate all proposals from the HPV community that help in achieving this objective and encourage proposers to include speakers at an early career-stage. The submission form will allow you to indicate which of the speakers is ‘early career’.
