About the Conference

The 20th International Parvovirus Workshop will take place in Madison, Wisconsin, USA, from June 7 until June 10, 2026 in-person as an on-site event.

The workshop is a biennial event, organized in 2026 by the Institute for Molecular Virology and McArdle Laboratory for Cancer Research.

The event focusses on all aspects of parvovirus research ranging from structural biology of viral proteins to therapeutic applications, including AAV gene therapy. Being a relatively small conference attended by academics and participants from biotech/pharma, this meeting offers an excellent opportunity to exchange ideas and network. This conference has a strong tradition in networking and exchanging ideas on basic biology of parvoviruses and vector systems used in the clinic.
