Upcoming
IDWeek 2026
Walter E. Washington Convention Center, Washington, D.C.
IDWeek is the annual joint meeting of the Infectious Diseases Society of America, the Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America, the HIV Medicine Association, the Pediatric Infectious Diseases Society, and the Society of Infectious Diseases Pharmacists.
See the PDF below for a compilation of gatherings, events, and ID/SUD-related presentations at IDWeek 2026!
Mentor–Mentee ID and Substance Use Networking Session
IDWeek 2026, Washington, D.C.
The interest group is running a mentor–mentee networking programme at IDWeek 2026. If you are a clinician in training, an early-career clinician, a practitioner, or an investigator who would like to connect with people working in infectious diseases and substance use disorders, this is for you.
Mentees are paired with an experienced mentor and given contact details ahead of the conference. Pairs can then meet during IDWeek at a scheduled SIG session, on a poster walk, or at whatever time suits them both.
Pairs will be emailed in the first week of October, so there is time to plan.
Registration closed on September 16, 2026.
ID & Substance Use Poster Walk
Poster Hall, Walter E. Washington Convention Center, Washington, D.C.

ID & Substance Use Launch Party
Dacha Beer Garden (Shaw), 1600 7th St NW, Washington, DC 20001
A social and networking get-together for the interest group during IDWeek 2026. Snacks will be served.
The venue moved here from Clyde’s Gallery Place, so check the address if you noted the old one down.
This is not an IDSA-sponsored event.
ID & Substance Use Interest Group Booth
Society Booth, Exhibit Hall, Walter E. Washington Convention Center, Washington, D.C.
Stop by to say hello and meet other conference attendees interested in infectious diseases and substance use disorders.
A group will walk over to the ID and substance use session together from there, so it is an easy way to arrive with company if you would rather not turn up alone.
911 Rally for Health and Science
Sam Gompers Park, Washington, D.C.
A rally for health and science, across from the IDWeek convention center.
Independent event — not an official IDSA or IDWeek event.
