The Interscience Conference on Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy (ICAAC) -- an annual meeting of the American Society for Microbiology -- is the major international meeting on antimicrobial agents and infectious diseases.

In addition to its scientific symposia, the conference includes special lectures, slide sessions, poster presentations, minilectures, meet-the-experts roundtables, and interactive sessions. Complementing the invited sessions are abstract sessions, which allow for the presentation of new and significant developments in therapy, prevention, pathogenesis, epidemiology, immunology and diagnosis of both established and emerging infectious diseases.
