Dear Friends and Colleagues,
We are delighted to invite you to join us in Munich, Germany, from March 30 – April 2, 2027, for the 20th Global Hepatitis Summit (GHS 2027).
This milestone meeting marks over 50 years of the International Symposium on Viral Hepatitis and Liver Disease (ISVHLD), bringing together a truly global community of scientists, clinicians, and public health leaders united by a shared mission: advancing science, innovation, and public health efforts – charting the path toward hepatitis elimination.
The GHS 2027 faculty have been thoughtfully selected to reflect the diversity and gender balance of our field today. The program will showcase the latest advances across three key tracks—basic and translational science, clinical practice, and public health—providing a comprehensive view of progress to date while identifying the research, clinical care, and public health policy priorities ahead.
Beyond the scientific program, GHS 2027 will serve as an important forum for connection and collaboration. The meeting will offer dedicated sessions for healthcare practitioners, as well as engaging workshops designed for those working across the liver and hepatitis landscape. Renowned speakers from around the world will present cutting-edge findings and share perspectives that will shape future research and patient care.
It will be our great pleasure to welcome you to Munich for this landmark scientific gathering.
With kind regards,

Robert Thimme
