WAC 2019 - World Allergy Congress

  Dear Colleagues,

 
It is a great honor and pleasure to invite you to participate to the World Allergy Congress (WAC) in Lyon, France on December 12-14, 2019. 
 
The World Allergy Organization (WAO) and the French Allergy Society (SFA) are pleased to present a special educational program, which will cover the different aspects of allergies.  It starts with our red thread: Update your knowledge! 

For each topic, all presenters will cover:

  • What we already knew
  • What we have most recently learned
  • What remains controversial
  • How can we fill the remaining gaps, the final unmet needs and how to strategize global collaborations in order to answer these questions? 

 
Participants will clearly update their knowledge and go home with key messages. 
 
Allergology is now a full specialty in France thanks to the tremendous efforts that the allergy community has put together.  


On behalf of the Local Organizing Committee (LOC) and both allergy societies we look forward to welcoming you to Lyon.

 

Bienvenue à chacun d’entre vous! 

 

Pascal DEMOLY
Chair of the LOC

Ignacio ANSOTEGUI
President of the WAO

Annick BARBAUD
Chair of the Scientific Committee

Philippe BONNIAUD
President of the French Allergy Society (SFA)
