2024 Annual Aspen Allergy Conference

Aspen, CO US

The Aspen Allergy Conference is an interactive four consecutive half-day and thematic meeting with educational sessions including: Asthma, Allergy, Immunodeficiency and COVID. Each State of the Art speaker is selected by their expertise in the topic they are asked to speak. Each lecture is 45 minutes in length with 15 minutes of questions, answers and scientific discussion. The discussion time is protected as a premium advantage for the attendee to maximize the learning experience. There is also ample time for the speaker and attendees to discuss the basic science, translational and clinical topics at length during the course of the meeting. One oral abstract per day is included in the program with a five-minute question and answer period. In addition, posters are included, typically 15-20, that are submitted by physicians including fellows-in-training on topics pertinent to Allergy, Asthma and Immunology. Formal and informal times are included for the presenters and attendees to discuss the scientific basis of the posters at this meeting. Our conference is unique holding two “Meet the Professor” question and answer sessions along with a Nature Botany Walk.
