Dear Colleagues and Friends,

On behalf of The World Allergy Organization (WAO) and Turkish National Society of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (TNSACI), we are pleased to invite you to participate in the World Allergy Congress (WAC) in Istanbul, Turkey, October 13-15, 2022.

Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic that started at the end of 2019, we have not been able to hold international exchanges and academic meetings in person for a long time. Current developments show us that we are approaching the end of the pandemic. Since the beginning of this year, the Local Organizing Committee, Steering committee and Scientific Program Committee have been looking for ways to best organize this event. It is our greatest wish to organize and experience a congress that we miss and need together. The high interest we have seen after the announcement of the congress encourages us.

The location for this event is a city representing in itself a special international environment. Here you will find two continents East and West living together as one, joined by magnificent bridges across the beautiful waters of the Bosphorus. This prestigious international congress will be the host to a sizeable number of distinguished international experts in Allergy/Immunology as well as regional leaders in the field. Delegates will witness and engage in 3 days of state-of-the art lectures, symposia and workshops in Allergy/Immunology and this will lead us to combine different knowledge, create new wisdom and take another step towards a world free from allergy.

If you miss this opportunity, you will really miss it!
