Exhibition and Sponsorship

Dear Industry Representatives,

We invite you and your Company to join us in Paris, France on April 30 – May 3, 2011 at the IV WORLD ASTHMA & COPD FORUM. The Congress Program will cover every aspect of basic research in the field of asthma, COPD and respiratory allergy, and will also bring forth the latest innovations in treatment. Our invitation especially addresses specialists in allergology, immunology, pulmonology, pediatrics, dermatology, critical care medicine etc. AN ALAIN DE’WECK AWARD LECTURE is included into the Congress Program to make special mention of Professor Alain De’Weck’s outstanding services to medical science. Professor Allan Kaplan would deliver this Keynote Lecture entitled “Drug allergy: New concepts regarding the interactions among drugs, T lymphocytes and antigen presenting cells”.

During the Congress, we will celebrate the 100th Anniversary of Immunotherapy whose history goes back into 1911 to Drs Leonard Noon's and John Freeman's first successful immunization against grass pollen "toxin" for hay fever. 

The distinguished International Committee is working hard now to develop an outstanding program covering the most topical issues of asthma, allergy and COPD – from mechanisms and genetic aspects of asthma and COPD to new advances in diagnostics, treatment and prophylaxis. Over 40 keynote lectures are already confirmed by the leading scientists who represent the World Allergy Organization (WAO), World Immunopathology Organization (WIPO), European Academy of Allergology & Clinical Immunology (EAACI), European Respiratory Society (ERS), International Association of Asthma (INTERASMA), American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI), American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (AAAAI), Asia Pacific Association of Allergology and Clinical Immunology (APAACI), Asian Pacific Society of Respirology (APSR), and some other international organizations.

Pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, medical publishers and providers of patient services will find a vast international audience of professionals in the fields of asthma, COPD and respiratory allergy at the IV WORLD ASTHMA & COPD FORUM in Paris. It’s a great honor for us to inform you that the III World Asthma & COPD Forum recently held in Dubai has attracted 1,920 attendees from all over the world. We expect even more participants for the event in Paris. We have received letters from many speakers and participants with congratulations for a very successful Asthma & COPD program in Dubai and an excellent, high scientific level congress.

On the other hand, your active participation is very important for us. We value the contributions of our industry sponsors and exhibitors. We encourage your participation in what promises to be an outstanding Congress.

Paris represents a city of romance, for others, the French capital is a sparkling mix of writers and artists. The city's people are stylish and flirtatious, its architecture seductive, its restaurants and nightlife devoted to the pursuit of pleasure and its streets are scattered with dreams. On all levels – historical, architectural, and cultural – this is a fascinating city full of surprises. WELCOME TO PARIS—one of the world's most exciting travel destinations! A stay in Paris should at least include a visit to the Louvre, one of the most impressive and well known museums in the world; a climb of the Eiffel Tower; and a climb to the top of Notre Dame Cathedral. You should also climb the steps to the Sacré Coeur in Montmartre, stroll around the Place du Tertre in front of it, visit the saucy Pigalle district, walk around the Latin Quarter and feel the atmosphere of the street performers outside the Centre Pompidou.
