The DMS Congress Programme focuses on six to eight key areas of microbiology, offering an engaging exploration of the field. Organized into parallel sessions, each session focuses on a specific microbiological topic, representing a particular area of focus.

The programme changes annually to feature as many fields of microbiology as possible and to emphasize the most exciting advancements at the time.

The programme also includes three keynote speakers: two presenting in the morning and one delivering the closing address.

In addition to the programme, Society members are encouraged to submit abstracts for poster presentations. Selected contributors are given the opportunity to share their findings with a broader audience through brief oral presentations.
