On behalf of the Local Organising and the International Scientific Committees, it gives us great pleasure to invite you to the 42nd Annual Meeting of the European Society of Paediatric Infectious Diseases (ESPID), scheduled to take place May 20-24, 2024. While we were looking forward to welcoming you to Tel Aviv in May, we regret that, due to the challenging and uncertain circumstances in our region, the venue for ESPID 2024 has been relocated to Copenhagen, Denmark. The scientific and social programmes will remain unaffected. ESPID is the major global conference dedicated to paediatric infectious diseases, that brings together professionals who want to stay up to date on state-of-the art science and clinical care, present their research, and develop new collaborations. Time: 9:00 am - 5:00 pm
