Confirmed Speakers


Meeting full

We regret to inform you that the meeting is now full. There are now almost 200 people on the waiting list, and so we have chosen to close the registration completely. We understand that there will be a lot of disappointed people, and we are sorry that we don't have space for everybody.

SNI meetings typically attract 400-450 delegates, with the society aiming to maintain an intimate and highly interactive atmosphere by avoiding parallel sessions. This approach ensures SNI meetings remain premier events for NK cell research.
