Will we meet again? It is great to look back at this Congress and we thank our sponsors, host SEM, congress organizer Kenes, faculty, volunteers and all of you attending allowing it to happen. In the mean time, we have started organizing next Congress, looking for the best science out there, and gathering our thoughts on how to make FEMS 2019 even more newsworthy, accessible and well-connected than this version.
