The Annual ID Research Retreat is a collaborative event by the Adult and Pediatrics infectious diseases divisions. 

Typically held in May, it's nearly a full day of data presented by research fellows, postdocs, and faculty.

Additionally, the Adult ID division hosts the fellowship graduation and awards dinner the same evening.
