Basic Science and Clinical Research of Coccidioides and Coccidioidomycosis

Dear Colleagues,

We are excited to once more assemble many of the leading scientists and clinicians for the 68th Coccidioidomycosis Study Group Conference, to take place in San Antonio, Texas, from 5 to 6 April 2024.

With its rich tradition, now in its 68th edition, this conference constitutes the premier forum for discussion of all aspects of Coccidioides spp. infection and research. Historically, this conference represents a unique opportunity to gather the world’s renowned experts in coccidioidomycosis. This is a field currently experiencing tremendous progress in clinical, epidemiologic, immunologic and translational research. A fundamental aspect of this conference continues to be to elevate the field by facilitating collaborative relationships amongst clinicians, scientists, and industry.
