The published programme is now detailed across both days. Day 1 covers surveillance of HCAIs, a year-in-IPC publications review, clinical trials and research breakthroughs, national and regional IPC insights, and advances in surveillance.

The speaker roster includes Michael Klompas, Walter Zingg, Evelina Tacconelli, Colin Brown, Eimear Brannigan, Shona Cairns, Paul McGurnaghan, Hugh Montgomery, Mahmood Bhutta, Sarah Walpole, Catrin Moore, Emma McGuire, Luke Moore and Aula Abbara, alongside sponsored symposia and poster sessions.
