Give Back at IDWeek: Blood Drive

Last Updated

August 21, 2026

In addition to advancing ID science and improving patient care through valuable programming and collaboration, conference attendees will have the opportunity to support their host region with IDWeek’s Give Back initiative.

This year, IDWeek is partnering with the American Red Cross to host a blood drive Thursday, Oct. 22, at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center. This opportunity is a meaningful way to respond to the blood supply shortage and extend the impact on the patients ID professionals care for. Keep an eye out for blood drive sign-up instructions in upcoming registrant emails.
