IOIS Congress 2027
IOIS is heading to Japan. During the IOIS 2025 meeting, Fukuoka was selected as the host city for our next congress: IOIS 2027, taking place 7–10 July 2027. This will be the 19th edition of the IOIS Congress and a joint meeting with the Japanese Ocular Inflammation Society (JOIS)—bringing together leading clinicians and researchers focused on ocular inflammation and infection.
Expect a high-impact scientific programme, international perspectives, and the kind of face-to-face exchange that moves the field forward—new data, practical insights, and real connection with colleagues from around the world. Fukuoka offers an outstanding setting for both rigorous learning and memorable networking.
Mark your calendar now: 7–10 July 2027. More details will follow as the programme takes shape—speakers, sessions, and registration. For now: save the date, and keep an eye on the Congress page as we release updates.
