We're delighted to announce that the 2026 British Society for Immunology Congress will be held in Glasgow from Monday 30 November to Thursday 3 December 2026.
Our Congress Committee is actively working on the scientific programme for 2026 and has confirmed the plenary session themes which are listed below.
All BSI members are invited to submit parallel session proposals for BSI Congress 2026 by Friday 10 October 2025.

The BSI Congress Committee encourages BSI members to discuss and forward session proposals through one of our many BSI Regional and Affinity Groups. If you need assistance connecting with a Regional & Affinity Group or have any questions about submitting a topic, please email congress@immunology.org.
More information on the details you need to submit in each parallel session proposal can be found on the proposal form. The Committee requests proposals for 1 hr 45 min sessions to maximise the number of topics that can be accepted. If you feel your topic may warrant a double session, please contact us before pursuing this line of proposal.
The British Society for Immunology strives to build a scientific programme of diverse speakers. Proposals are expected to ensure diversity across the selection of speakers and chairs, considering representation of people from all backgrounds, in line with the BSI's Diversity & Inclusion Framework.
