In June, the Lyon Convention Bureau welcomed the ICTMM President and the President of the French Society of Exotic Pathology to the city.

Following a successful site inspection, it was decided to organize an event at this year’s congress in Brisbane in order to emphasize the city’s bid which will be placed in 2020.

Should Lyon be successful in its bid to host the congress, the event will gather 3000 people from 11 to 15 September 2024
