Since its first meeting in Crete in 2000, this biennial conference has become a leading global forum for scientists studying Wolbachia and other arthropod and nematode symbionts. The meeting is known for its friendly atmosphere and lively exchanges, helping to advance this fast-growing field.
For the first time, the conference will be held in China. It is hosted by Nanjing Agricultural University (NAU) in Nanjing, a city that blends rich history with modern innovation. The NAU campus provides a quiet and scholarly setting, perfect for both focused discussions and informal networking.
October in Nanjing brings clear skies and mild weather, making it an ideal time to gather. Just as autumn is a season of harvest, we look forward to a harvest of new ideas and exciting science.
Join us in Nanjing, China, in October 2027 for an unforgettable scientific experience!
