On behalf of the Society for Invertebrate Pathology and the Organizing Committee, it is our pleasure to invite you to participate in the 2023 International Congress on Invertebrate Pathology and Microbial Control & 55th Annual Meeting of the Society for Invertebrate Pathology.  For the first time since 2019, this meeting will be held in-person, in College Park, Maryland, USA from July 30th to August 3rd, 2023.

The Society for Invertebrate Pathology (SIP) was founded in 1967 as an interdisciplinary scientific society that would draw together members from diverse scientific backgrounds under the unified discipline of invertebrate pathology.  The annual SIP meeting is the world's foremost scientific congress on invertebrate pathology and microbial pest control and is particularly important as a networking event for the development of national and international collaborations.  We encourage you to participate in this event.
