The Aspen Allergy Conference is structured to host three State of the Art speakers from around the United States and abroad each day. One oral abstract per day is allowed in the program. In addition, posters are allowed, typically 15-20, that are submitted by physicians including fellows-in-training on topics pertinent to Allergy, Asthma and Immunology. Formal and informal times are allowed for the presenters and attendees to discuss the scientific basis of the posters at this meeting. The conference has a unique "Meet the Professor Breakfast" that allows attendees to discuss specific cases with a state of the art speaker as well as ask clinical questions. The conference is located at the Hotel Jerome, 330 East Main Street, Aspen, Colorado.This activity is supported by educational grants from commercial interests.
Complete information will be provided to participants prior to the activity.
