CSM Annual Conference
Bringing together Canadian microbiologists since 1952
73rd Annual Conference of the Canadian Society of Microbiologists
We are very pleased to invite you to the 73rd Annual Conference of the Canadian Society of Microbiologists (CSM 2024) that will be held in person at Western University in London, Ontario between June 23-26, 2024. The City of London and Western University are located on the traditional lands of the Anishinaabek, Haudenosaunee, Lūnaapéewak and Attawandaron peoples. Tribute to and inclusion of our native population is facilitated in part through the new 10,000 square foot Wampum Learning Lodge, which functions as a home-place for Indigenous learning initiatives at Western, and a touchstone for Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples to gather and learn together.
