Welcome Letter

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

On behalf of the Local Organizing Committee and the International Scientific Committee, it is our great pleasure to invite you to the 14th World Congress of the World Society for Pediatric Infectious Diseases (WSPID 2025), taking place from 28-31 October 2025 in vibrant Bangkok, Thailand.

This year’s congress will once again provide a platform to explore how infectious diseases care for children and young people continues to evolve in a rapidly changing world.

WSPID 2025 offers an exciting program and will highlight the challenges and innovations in our field, addressing the impact of global phenomena such as pandemics, post-pandemic realities, geopolitical changes, vaccine equity, antimicrobial resistance, climate change, quality of care and other critical issues. Together, we will explore the current landscape, future directions, and pioneering approaches to pediatric infectious diseases.

The Congress will bring together esteemed clinicians and researchers from around the globe to share their expertise, insights and cutting-edge research on a broad range of infectious disease topics, catering to participants from diverse healthcare settings, with a focus on low- and middle-income settings.

Additionally, WSPID 2025 will be very interactive and will offer valuable opportunities for networking, fostering collaborations, and creating memorable professional and social experiences.

We are very much looking forward to welcoming you to beautiful and dynamic Bangkok, a city that seamlessly blends tradition and innovation, for an engaging congress filled with knowledge, collaboration, and shared experiences!

Yours sincerely,
