The Setting
The Columbia University Irving Medical Center (CUIMC) is located in Washington Heights, one of the oldest neighborhoods in New York City, and home to scenic Fort Tryon Park and the Met Cloisters museum. New York is a city of many neighborhoods and cultures waiting to be explored. Some of the neighborhoods are based on ethnicity, like Little Italy and Chinatown, others on professional interests like the artists' communities of the East Village and SoHo. All these neighborhoods are like little worlds, each offering unique experiences. The city is always awake and exciting, so whenever you want, you can go to a movie, and even at 2 AM. The problem may be deciding whether your late night food should be Chinese, Indian, Greek or just a hamburger. Many restaurants stay open 24 hours a day.
Social & Networking Activities
A major benefit of ANAEROBE 2026 is the opportunity to network with anaerobic researchers from around the world. The Anaerobe Congresses have an outstanding track record in facilitating collaborative research projects that have produced results presented at later Anaerobe Congresses and other scientific conferences and publications. Opportunities include:
Tuesday, July 7 -- Reception & Buffet Dinner
Following the Keynote Address on Tuesday evening, delegates are invited to a reception & buffet dinner on site.
Wednesday & Friday, July 8 & 10 -- Lunches
On Wednesday & Friday, lunches will be provided on site to facilitate interactions.
