Pediatric Allergy and Asthma Meeting (PAAM) 2015 Berlin

The European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology Organisation (EAACI) has enjoyed successful focused meetings over the last few years and the Pediatric Allergy and Asthma Meeting (PAAM) 2013 was the largest with approximately 1,000 attendees travelling to Athens for the event. PAAM 2015 hopes to bring together pediatricians and primary care physicians who care passionately for the challenging scientific and clinical issues that relate to pediatric allergy and asthma.

As members of the EAACI Pediatric Section Board and chairs of PAAM 2015, we are more than happy to announce that the fourth PAAM will be held in Berlin, the capital of Germany on 15 – 17 October 2015 at the Berlin Congress Centre (BCC). Members of the local organising committee include Bodo Niggemann and Kirsten Beyer, both experts in the field of pediatric allergy.

The Pediatric Section of EAACI along with the local organising committee will endeavor to create a scientific programme covering contemporary aspects of asthma, food allergy, anaphylaxis, atopic eczema, immunotherapy and eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders. For example, new insights into immunological mechanisms that underpin successful tolerance inductions to foods will be presented; there will also be special emphasis on education hands-​on workshops.
