We are delighted to invite you to the GAAPP Summit & Annual General Meeting 2026, taking place on September 3–4, 2026, at the Hotel Illunion Barcelona in Barcelona, Spain.

As the premier annual gathering for patient leaders from around the world, the Summit brings together respiratory and immunology advocacy organizations for high-level collaboration, strategic planning, and the exchange of transformative insights. We look forward to welcoming patient organization representatives and partners, both in person in Barcelona and virtually from across the globe, for two days of shared learning, meaningful dialogue, and collective action in service of the global patient community.

The GAAPP Summit provides the platform for patient organizations to raise their voice for urgent issues, share best practices, and come together with respiratory and immunology advocacy organizations.
