Dear all, We are very excited to announce that the 33rd International Dynamics & Evolution of Human Viruses conference will be held May 19-22, 2026 at the UBC Okanagan Campus, Kelowna, BC, Canada. This will be a hybrid meeting, which will include a live in person meeting and a virtual option. Scientific sessions will be May 20-22, 2026. Conference website: https://dynamicsevolution.org/event/7/ This meeting series was designed to promote discussion between specialists in quantitative and computational approaches in two areas in the field of virology where these are particularly important: Modeling of viral and cellular dynamics Viral evolution and population genetics Many of these approaches were originally developed for HIV but are now applied to many viruses where extensive data are available. We encourage the submission of abstracts relating to evolutionary work on HIV, SARS-CoV-2 and other human viruses. We consider topics on statistical, mathematical, computational, and integrative approaches to analyzing the dynamics and evolution of human viruses within the scope of this meeting. Abstracts are being accepted under the following topics from which the final conference schedule will be constructed: Evolutionary Dynamics of HIV Vaccines & Immune escape Zoonoses & Emerging Infections Genomics & Bioinformatics Software Tools & Methods Transmission Dynamics & Clusters Within-Host Dynamics & Adaptations Phylodynamics & Phylogeography Plenary Speaker Our plenary speaker will be Dr. Kanta Subbarao from Universit� Laval. Abstracts and Registration We will be using the Indico platform for abstract submission and review. You will be prompted to create a user account to submit an abstract if you do not already have one. We actively encourage participation of researchers from around the globe, including junior scientists and members of minority groups. Registration payment is handled through Worldline's Bambora platform (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bambora). Visa Details If you require a Visa to attend, you may request early abstract review, in this case please email dynamics@bccfe.ca. Travel Grants A limited number of travel grants may be available for young investigators from underserved populations to attend this program. If you wish to be considered, please email dynamics@bccfe.ca a letter of request no later than January 3, 2026. Include details on your present role, and why you should be considered for an award. Please note that in order to receive a travel grant, you must submit an abstract and have it accepted. Gala Dinner The gala dinner will be held at Grey Monk Winery's "The Lookout Restaurant" overlooking Okanagan Lake. Course Chairs Manon Ragonnet, PhD - University of Chicago, USA Jeffrey Joy, PhD - University of British Columbia, Canada and BC Centre for Excellence in HIV/AIDS Please visit our website for more information, registration, and abstract submission https://dynamicsevolution.org/event/7/ We look forward to the usual fantastic scientific program and hope to see you in Squamish.
