Since 2022, the AFN biennially holds the world’s only congress solely focused on anaerobic fungi!

The first International Anaerobic Fungi Congress was held in September 2022 (IAFC2022). This large online event brought together approx. 100 AFN members from all over the world in a virtual conference venue (GatherTown), to meet, present and discuss their work. Since this conference was well-received (and we enjoyed ourselves a lot!), IAFC2024 and IAFC2026 took place with a larger and extended format during October 2024 and 2026, respectively.

For now, attendance of IAFC as well as access to subsequent recordings etc is only available to AFN members BUT AFN membership is free of charge!

Anyone interested can become an AFN member. In addition to participation in AFN events and access to many helpful resources, AFN members also benefit from regular update emails.

Already an AFN member? You can also visit the Members-Only section to access recordings etc from the previous congresse: IAFC2022, IAFC2024, and IAFC2026.
