The 27^th Annual MAD-ID Meeting, The Antimicrobial Stewardship Meeting^® will take place May 28-31, 2025 at the Hyatt Regency Orlando in Orlando, FL. Once again, the live portion of the highly popular MAD-ID Advanced Antimicrobial Stewardship Training Program (AASP) will be delivered along with other contemporary content regarding infectious diseases prevention and treatment. Additionally, we are launching a new series of sessions that focus on ID education; a must for all preceptors.

Pharmacists, physicians, nurses, and other providers will be given the opportunity to participate in a three-and-a-half-day educational conference specifically designed to apply recent research to patient care and antimicrobial stewardship while earning continuing education credits.

As in previous years, discounted registration fees will be offered for students and trainees, stewardship program partners from the same institution, and ID resident-residency director pairs. In addition, travel grant assistance will be awarded to students, residents, and fellows who present an abstract during the Scientific Poster Session. Trainees are also invited to a pre-meeting session just for them on Wednesday, May 28^th highlighting reseach awards, career development and networking.

If you are unsure of your membership status, please contact Alicia Hanrahan at 203.395.4587 or via email at ahanrahan@agcomm.com. The member rate will only be valid for active members.

To receive the discounted Stewardship Team Partners registration fee OR the ID Resident / Residency Director Team registration fee, you must register two stewardship Team members, representing two different healthcare professions e.g, for the Stewardship Team Partners, physician/pharmacist, pharmacist/residency director, pharmacist/nurse, pharmacist/infection control practitioner, etc from the same institution to qualify.
