Dear Colleagues,

We are delighted to be able to welcome you to Singapore for the 9th Asia Dengue Summit (ADS), to be held on 15-17 June 2026.

As you will be aware, research on all fronts, from clinical epidemiology to virology and entomology, have made important breakthroughs in our understanding of dengue in recent years. Some of which are ripe for translation into interventions to alleviate the illness that billions live at risk of in Asia each year. However, the volume of published literature is large – in just the last 5 years, more than 10,000 papers have been published in peer reviewed journals. Sieving through this evidence to identify findings that are ready for translation is increasingly challenging.

The annual ADS has served as a platform for the community of clinicians, public health officials and scientists to meet, exchange the latest knowledge and establish new collaborative networks. We will gather thought leaders in the dengue field to synthesize the evidence and distil it into actionable nuggets. We will also hear the latest findings from those in the forefront of research, from field studies to molecular virology and immunology. Finally, it is our hope that the ADS will serve to catalyse translation of science into action to reduce the dengue burden and even eliminate dengue deaths.

Please block the dates – 15-17 June 2026 – and plan to join us for the 9th ADS. We eagerly look forward to welcoming you to Singapore.

With best wishes,
Eng Eong Ooi and Lee Ching Ng (Co-organisers)
