Through keynote presentations, expert panels, and multidisciplinary discussions, attendees will explore the critical role of the laboratory in AMR prevention and diagnostic readiness, advances in rapid diagnostics for sepsis and infectious diseases, and practical strategies to optimize antimicrobial use.

Featured sessions will highlight national AMR surveillance initiatives, emerging clinical research, One Health approaches to resistance monitoring, and technology-enabled solutions that support antimicrobial stewardship programs. Discussions will also examine the reduction of diagnostic uncertainty, and the long-term impact of AMR and sepsis on patient outcomes.

The program will conclude with an interactive panel discussion bringing together speakers from across the day to share perspectives on the future of AMR prevention, diagnosis, and patient care. Together, these sessions provide participants with practical insights and actionable ideas that can be applied across laboratory, clinical, stewardship, public health, and healthcare leadership settings.
