ASV was founded in 1981 to provide a forum for investigators of human, animal, insect, plant, fungal, and bacterial viruses, whether the research involves the use of clinical, ecological, biological, or biochemical approaches. The Society sponsors an annual meeting, designed to promote discussion and collaboration among scientists active in all aspects of virology.

Meeting Site

The Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Monona Terrace Community and Convention Center is located in the heart of Madison's vibrant downtown on the shore of Lake Monona, two blocks from the State Capitol, and a 15 minute walk to the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus. This spectacular multilevel structure features public promenades, meeting rooms with striking lake views, a 68,000 square foot rooftop garden, and the attached Hilton Madison Monona Terrace.
