Annual Events
For member organizations, GAAPP annually executes the following:
- Scientific Meeting: GAAPP hosts this event annually with several scientific presentations on allergies, CSU, AD, Asthma, COPD, COVID, and guidelines updates conducted by leading Health Care Professionals and Researchers. More information:
- Global Respiratory Summit: A platform for patient organizations to raise their voice for urgent issues, share best practices, and come together with respiratory advocacy organizations. This meeting defines the path GAAPP will take with advocacy, education, and policymaking for the following year.
GAAPP Academy
Every year we complement our Global Respiratory Summit with 6 Capacity-Building webinars. Each year’s topics are selected based on our member patient organizations’ feedback and unmet needs. You can watch our GAAPP Academy videos at this link: http://gaapp.org/events/webinars/
