International Vascular Biology Meeting 2026
6-10 September | Adelaide, Australia
Welcome to IVBM 2026!
The International Vascular Biology Meeting 2026 Organising Committee invites you to join us in Adelaide, Australia from September 6th-10th, 2026, to learn about the latest ground-breaking advances in vascular biology.
We welcome scientists, students, clinicians, engineers and biotech/pharmaceutical companies to participate in a vibrant scientific program. The Meeting will feature sessions focussed on blood and lymphatic vascular development, vascular heterogeneity, genetic and epigenetic regulation of endothelial cell identity, immune cell trafficking via the vasculature, vascular engineering, emerging technologies and diseases of the vasculature. These thematic sessions will be accompanied by keynote lectures from international leaders in the field of vascular biology, talks selected from abstracts, poster sessions and sessions focussed on career development for trainees. The meeting will provide ample opportunities for participants to engage in active discussions, build new networks and foster collaborations.
IVBM 2026 will be held in the Adelaide Convention Centre, located on the banks of the River Torrens in the heart of Adelaide and neighbouring Adelaide’s state-of-the-art biomedical research precinct. In addition to spectacular science, Adelaide and South Australia are renowned for stunning beaches, amazing landscapes and outstanding food and wine! We warmly welcome you to join us and experience all that South Australia has to offer!
