The World Vaccine Congress, in existence for over two decades, has grown to become the largest and most established conference dedicated to vaccines, globally. The World Vaccine Congress 2022 will bring together thousands of industry experts across the entire vaccine landscape, with key sessions dedicated to the fight against COVID-19. Taking place April 18-21 at the flagship hotel, Marriott Marquis Washington, DC, the event will be one of the first opportunities to meet in person since the pandemic began to learn, share experiences and ground-breaking knowledge, and network with others who are working against COVID-19 and on other important vaccines.
“If there is anything that the last two years have taught this industry, it’s that the pandemic has certainly put the focus on the need for cutting-edge research to produce more and better vaccines,” Devana Solutions CEO and Co-Founder Barry Lake.
