Following the postponement of the Candida and Candidiasis meeting that was scheduled to take place in Montreal, Canada earlier this year, the Microbiology Society, in consultation with the scientific organising committee, has decided to transition the meeting to a virtual event that will be delivered digitally in March 2021.

Given the complex and changing nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, and ongoing restrictions and disruption to international travel, the decision to deliver the event digitally was considered to be the best course action to ensure the safety and accessibility for all event participants.
