History of the International Pathogenic Neisseria Conferences
In the 1970s a series of conferences were held dealing with issues of meningococcal epidemiology and vaccination. Some of these conferences were held in Milano, St. Paul de Vence, and Marseille. But the first official conference was held in San Francisco, California, 1978.
