WELCOME MESSAGE

Dear Colleagues,

The Asia Pacific Association of Allergy, Asthma and Clinical Immunology (APAAACI), the Asia Pacific
Association of Pediatric Allergy Respirology & Immunology (APAPARI) and the Allergy, Asthma and
Immunology Association of Thailand (AAIAT) cordially invite you to attend its flagship Joint Congress
of APAAACI and APAPARI 2018 to be held from 11-14 October, 2018 in Bangkok, Thailand.

Allergic diseases and asthma comprise a major health burden in the region with increasing morbidity
and mortality. The theme of APAAACI and APAPARI 2018 is Novel Therapies, Prevention and
Integrated Action: Towards Improved Patient Care. With an outstanding scientific program and
key experts from the region and around the world, the APAAACI and APAPARI 2018 will provide
a forum for the most useful combination of latest advances in research, review of current theory
and practice, hands-on, problem-based learning. The congress is expected to gather over 2,000
clinicians, researchers, experts and health care providers in allergy, asthma and immunology from
the Asia Pacific region and around the world. In addition to being an excellent forum for sharing of
scientific and clinical information it will also provide a unique opportunity to interact with key opinion
leaders, colleagues and juniors working in the field of allergy, asthma and immunology in the region
and beyond leading to increased collaboration, innovation, advocacy, improved patient care and
preventative strategies.

Centrally located in the Asia Pacific region, Bangkok is one of the world’s top 10 most visited cities,
blessed not only with the best meeting facilities but also with cultural, historical and indigenous,
attractions, varied shopping opportunities, etc. We are confident that you will have a memorable time
and enjoy your stay in Bangkok besides the scientific experience.

We look forward to welcoming you to participate in this prestigious event. It is only with your contribution
that we can ensure the success of the Joint Congress of APAAACI and APAPARI 2018.
