The Community Forum provides an opportunity for information exchange between scientists and people living with hepatitis B and D.

Registration is required to attend the Community Forum. The event is FREE of charge.
Agenda highlights include:
- Epidemiology, progress and challenges with hepatitis B elimination in Southeast Asia
- Progress towards hepatitis B elimination in Vietnam
- Lived experience of hepatitis B in Southeast Asia
During the International HBV Meeting again this year, a Community Forum on hepatitis B will be held to share the latest advances in HBV research. Sponsored by the Hepatitis B Foundation and ICE-HBV, the Forum facilitates engagement between attendees at the International HBV Meeting, public health professionals and the broader community affected by hepatitis B.
