World's largest congress on allergy and clinical immunology heading to Hamburg in 2023

The congress and exhibition metropolis of Hamburg is celebrating landing the 2023 annual congress of the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI). The event will take place, 9-11 June, 2023, at the new CCH – Congress Center Hamburg, in a hybrid format. It will be the first time the medical congress-plus-exhibition will be hosted in Hamburg and up to 8,000 participants from around the world are expected onsite and online. The Hamburg Convention Bureau and the CCH – Congress Center Hamburg team worked together to secure the congress bid for what is the world’s largest professional gathering focused on allergy and clinical immunology. In July 2022, the EAACI Congress in Prague was held in a successful hybrid format. The motto of the 2023 congress will be: ‘Pathways from precision medicine to personalised care’. The content will focus on how to deliver healthcare solutions which are individually tailored to improve patients’ lives. “The EAACI Annual Congress holds its place as the largest and most important in our field in terms of delegate and abstract numbers. This year we are ready to host it in a fantastic and easily accessible venue – the Congress Centre Hamburg,“ said Stefano Del Giacco, EAACI president. Mohamed Shamji, EAACI vice-president congresses, said the 2023 Congress  would include 120 scientific sessions, along with practical workshops and networking opportunities over the course of three days in Hamburg, “a city with an important history as a hub for trade, that we have identified as the most appropriate setting for knowledge-sharing in our own trade: the field of allergy and clinical immunology!” he noted. Hamburg’s minister for science and research, Katharina Fegebank said: “It is hard to imagine Hamburg without its medical conventions. They support the highly important exchange of views and expertise between scientists and physicians from around the world, driving scientific progress and knowledge transfer, both locally and internationally. It is precisely this kind of international collaboration that enables science and research to deliver solutions to today’s challenges. I am very pleased that we will be able to welcome such a leading medical convention, along with numerous researchers, this year.” “The new CCH – Congress Center Hamburg is a leading-edge, flexible, sustainable and barrier-free venue that provides an excellent environment for major medical conventions, such as the international congress of the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, to share thoughts and transfer know-how,” said Heike Mahmoud, chief operating officer of the CCH. “A heartfelt welcome to the participants of the EAACI – the CCH will serve as your platform for discussing forward-looking, innovative topics in June 2023.” Photo, credit © Hamburg Messe und Congress / Piet Niemann
