SAIS Logo Final

Dear Fellow Immunologists,

On behalf of The South African Immunology Society (SAIS), I am delighted to extend a warm invitation to all of you to attend our 10th Annual Conference, which will take place at the Garden Court Marine Parade in KwaZulu-Natal from 30 October – 1 November 2025. 

The conference will be held under the theme: Immunology at the centre of One Health.

This is one of the biggest highlights on the immunology calendar, with the aim of fostering synergies and maximizing dialogue to ultimately increase the impact of immunological research for health.

Join us as we meet friends and colleagues, seek scientific collaboration, and get inspired and motivated to continue our research and practice in infectious diseases, primary immunodeficiency, allergy, rheumatology, transplantation, reproductive immunology, and veterinary medicine.

We will endeavour for an exciting and high-quality scientific programme, diversity and inclusion, and transparency and professionalism in the organizing of the conference.

I am looking forward to a productive and interactive Conference and your participation, your research paper presentation, and your support.

I look forward to welcoming you to the conference KwaZulu-Natal.

Sincerely,
Dr Luyanda Kwofie
Conference Chairperson
