RITA is an international scientific meeting that has been held annually since 1990, whose focus is the presentation and discussion of advances in rabies research, surveillance, control, and prevention. Conference participants include researchers, academics, regulators, students, and medical, public health, and veterinary professionals, among others. The RITA conference provides unparalleled opportunities to learn about the latest developments in the field of rabies, to network with colleagues from around the world, and to raise the profile of sponsoring agencies on the world stage. Since rabies is a zoonotic disease, this conference is an excellent forum for productive interactions between veterinary and public health professionals promoted by the One Health approach.

Rabies In The Americas – RITA Inc. is an international, non-governmental, not-for-profit organization with a professional focus on rabies. Among its activities is the promotion of an important annual conference, held alternately by the different member countries.

In this year 2024, the venue of the event will be the Hotel Cassa LePage, Bolívar 373, Buenos Aires, Argentina
