We would like to extend a heartwarming welcome to you all on behalf of the Organizing Committee for being with us at the 10th Asia-Pacific Congress of Medical Virology 2015 (APCMV 2015) in conjunction with 12th Taipei International Conference on HIV/AIDS in Taipei, Taiwan during October 15-18 this year.

Over the past two decades, APCMV has steadily developed into one of the most significant Congresses in the field of medical virology and this time in Taipei we are expecting more than 800 delegates to join onboard with the great assemble. Under the theme "Emerging Challenges for Viral Diseases", the Program Committee has prepared a series of invited lectures, educational workshops, symposia, and poster and oral sessions in parallel seminars during the 4 day program. We also encourage your participation in all social events networking with new friends and old, and visit the exhibitions where our industry partners present tomorrow's therapeutics and practices.

Taipei International Convention Center, sitting in the heart of Taipei city, is granted with easy access to all ranges of hotels and accommodations via the convenient transport networks connecting throughout the city. Taipei is a perfect choice to experience the diversity of Chinese culture: Taipei 101 demonstrates the modern architecture and the National Palace Museum shows the beauty of historical building, and Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall brings you the story of Taiwan, in addition to the hospitality of the people here. Such a various orientation makes Taipei a charming and excellent city not only to travel to but also to hold an international convention in around the Asia Pacific region.

With your strong support and pragmatic participation, APCMV 2015 is about to become one of the most successful and wonderful events in the Asia Pacific!

Enjoy your stay, and, welcome to Taiwan!
