On behalf of the Scientific Organizing Committee, it is my pleasure to invite you to the 9th International Calicivirus Conference, which will be held in the stunning mountain town of Banff, Canada, from September 7-11, 2025. Alberta, our host province, offers more than breathtaking landscapes—it's also home to world-class institutions that play a pivotal role in advancing virological research.
 
Located within Alberta are two leading universities: the University of Alberta and the University of Calgary. The University of Alberta is home to the renowned Li Ka Shing (LKS) Institute of Virology, a global center of excellence that leads the way in virus research and innovation. With a rich history of scientific discovery and collaboration, Alberta is the ideal place to host this meeting.
 
This conference, held every three years, unites scientists from across the globe who study calicivirus virology, evolution, pathogenesis, structural biology, diagnosis, epidemiology, treatment, and prevention. Our aim is to foster open discussions, spark new collaborations, and explore groundbreaking research. Delegates will have the opportunity to engage with the latest advances in the field through state-of-the-art lectures, oral presentations, and poster sessions.
 
We look forward to welcoming you to Banff for an inspiring and fruitful gathering. Let's continue to advance our collective understanding of caliciviruses in the pursuit of new knowledge and solutions.

On behalf of the scientific organizing committee,
