The ISLB Annual Congress plays an important role in furthering the advancements and research in liquid biopsy technologies and their clinical applications, therefore your attendance is not only appreciated, but also central to the exchange of ideas and ensuring our important work does not lose momentum.
We understand that international travel can bring challenges—logistical, financial, and in some cases, political. But your presence is not only welcome, it is essential. You are part of this story, and your voice belongs in the room.
This year, we look forward to welcoming you to Orlando, Florida.
We are here to support you in making this journey.
To help our international delegates prepare, read the helpful travel tips below:
Apply for a U.S. visa early – Visa processing times vary, so we recommend applying as soon as possible.
As a precaution, once registered, you will receive a letter of invitation, which will include ISLB 2025 letterhead, the dates of the conference, and confirmation that the purpose of the visit is to attend meetings at the conference.
This letter will help maintain consistency in documentation and prevent misunderstandings at immigration checkpoints. Having the correct documentation will ensure a smoother entry process and help avoid any unintended miscommunication about the nature of your visit.
Confirm your visa type – Double-check that you are applying for the correct category.
Gather supporting documentation – Include proof of registration, hotel bookings, return flights, and connections to your home country (employment, family, etc.).
Review any transit requirements – If passing through another country, confirm if transit visas or other entry conditions apply.
Stay up to date on border policies – Requirements can shift, so monitor your local U.S. embassy or consulate website.
Carry printed copies of key documents – While digital versions help, physical copies of your visa, invitation, and travel plans are recommended.
Clear and Accurate Statements at Immigration – Be precise about the nature of your visit and have supporting documentation ready if needed.
Ensure name consistency – Double-check that your name matches exactly across all travel and visa documents.
