World’s largest congress on allergy heads to Prague for July hybrid date

Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, is set to host the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI) Congress on 1-3 July 2022 at the O2 universum. The EAACI flagship Congress is attended yearly by over 8,000 health care professionals and scientists including key opinion leaders from all over the world. This year’s event will take place in a hybrid format. The EAACI is an association of more than 13,000 clinicians, researchers and allied health professionals from 124 countries, dedicated to improving the health of people affected by allergic diseases and asthma. The topic of the 2022 EAACI Congress is Common origins of allergy and chronic inflammatory diseases – the One Health approach. During the three-day programme, delegates will have a chance to attend more than 200 expert presentations and interactive workshops delivered by opinion leaders. Professor Petr Panzner, local ambassador and chair of the 2022 Congress, said: “The hybrid format brings many new advantages and progressive functionalities, as was experienced during the first EAACI Hybrid Congress in 2021. It allows participants to attend and network from all around the globe, but we would also like to express our wish to have as many participants as possible with us personally in Prague.” Panzer added: “I am convinced that the 2022 scientific programme will not only help participants to gather the updated scientific information but will be very helpful in their daily practice as physicians and other HCPs thanks to interactive workshops and meet-the-expert sessions.” The Prague Convention Bureau, in co-operation with the Czech Society of Allergology and Clinical Immunology, won the bidding process after a three-year process.
