Welcome to the 12th FAIS Congress 2024, co-hosted by The Gambia Society of Immunology (GAMIS) and the Benin Society of Immunology (BSI) at the Palais des Congres de Cotonou, Benin, from 10th to 13th December 2024. This is the first in-person FAIS conference since the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, we are extra excited that colleagues will be able to interact at a more personal level in the same space. Looking forward to seeing you in Benin! Please review the program on this website, which will be regularly updated to accommodate changes as planning progresses. Please get the passports and visas ready now!
