Autumn Immunology Conference 2026

It takes place at the Chicago Marriott Downtown in Chicago, Illinois.

The organizer lists undergraduates, trainees, post-docs, principal investigators, exhibitors, and sponsors.

It is most useful for trainees, postdocs and principal investigators in immunology, since the meeting pairs plenary talks with workshops and poster sessions where students present their own findings, and has run since 1971. It is an academic meeting chaired by a University of Iowa investigator, so industry staff seeking large-scale commercial contacts would find a smaller pool, though exhibitors and sponsors do attend.

Academic immunology meetings usually call for casual to business casual dress, with trainees often in jeans or slacks and comfortable shoes for poster sessions.
