The 37th Annual NSCMID Meeting was held on 3 -6 September, 2021 at Logomo hall, in Turku, Finland.  For the first time ever, the event took place also online.

The conference was a success, with more than 250 attendees either onsite or online. After a long pause in scientific meetings, it was a great pleasure to meet colleagues, to listen to talks given by experts and to participate in lively discussions on a wide range of subjects in clinical microbiology and infectious diseases.  The online platform enabled to follow the presentations, read the posters as well as to visit the exhibition also after the meeting.
