16. Tag der Hygiene

Dear colleagues,
ladies and gentlemen,

we cordially invite you to our anniversary conference - the 16th Day of Hygiene - from September 16 to 17, 2026 at the Congress Center Villach. We are pleased to have once again secured renowned speakers on exciting topics related to hygiene and infectiology for the traditional congress in Villach. After 32 years of hygiene congress history in Villach, you will have the opportunity, as usual, to engage intensively with professional colleagues on topics that truly matter in healthcare.

Hygiene plays a crucial role in all areas of life and business, and we are therefore very much looking forward to current insights into the state of science as well as a glimpse into possible future scenarios. This year's conference is once again focused on personal exchange - because what benefits us personally, as well as society, more than the continuous mutual transfer of knowledge?

During the conference, topics such as infectiology, humans & environment, antibiotics, travel medicine, vaccination, artificial intelligence, and more will be at the center of discussions. Challenges of yesterday, today, and tomorrow for employees in healthcare facilities will be intensively addressed in the presentations. But make up your own mind about the exciting topics and presentations on the following pages. The presentations are intended not only to serve as a scientific exchange of experiences but also to provide space for professional discussions with colleagues and representatives from the industry in a relaxed atmosphere. Exhibitors from the healthcare sector will present their product and service offerings and showcase their innovations.

We look forward to your attendance in September 2026 and wish all participants two interesting days of continuing education!

With collegial greetings
Kathrin Brugger, Norbert Nowotny, and Rosalinde Rumpold
