2026 BSACI Online Global Symposium

We have developed a cutting-edge online program with internationally recognized speakers, where where EAACI, WAO, AAAAI and JSA will focus on the clinical state-of-the-art and highlight recent guidelines and consensus papers. BSACI will present challenging clinical cases following up from the very well-received session at the 2025 symposium. There will also be an ‘Presidents’ Forum’ session where the presidents of all partner societies will be given a platform to discuss what is new and important in Allergy and Clinical Immunology.

Target Audience

  • Allergy/Immunology Physicians
  • Youth/Adult Primary Care Providers
  • Nurses, Allied Health Professionals
  • Clinical Staff
  • Fellows-in-Training
  • Residents
  • Individuals with an academic interest in Allergy/Immunology

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:

  • Discover how allergen immuno therapy, including SCIT and SLIT, can improve asthma control, modify disease, and offer long-term prevention in allergic conditions worldwide
  • Explore advances in diagnosing and treating SJS/TEN, including cancer drug reactions with similar features. Gain practical guidance and support global efforts to standardize care
  • Share the Japanese guidelines for atopic dermatitis to highlight evidence-based treatment strategies and promote shared decision-making between physicians and patients, respecting individual values and preferences.
  • Detail how and when to perform oral food challenges and how to avoid pitfalls in diagnosing and following up food allergy
  • Explore how AI can transform global allergy care by improving diagnosis, personalizing treatment, and expanding equitable access to specialist-level expertise in alignment with EAACI’s evidence-based vision for clinical implementation
  • Emphasizing improving beta-lactam allergy diagnosis and de-labeling false cases to reduce antibiotic resistance and enhance global health outcomes
