Dear Distinguished Colleagues,

It is great pleasure to invite you to participate in the XVI International Congress of the Polish Society of Allergology, which will take place in Lodz, from 13 to 16 October, 2027.

For over 40 years, Congresses of our Society have been the most important allergology meetings in Poland, demonstrating the strength and development of our specialty and community. We are one of the most dynamic medical societies in Poland, bringing together leaders of Polish medicine – our members shape the face of global allergology. Thanks to the work of many generations, as well as our own efforts, we are creating a new quality not only in medicine but also in communication and education in the field of allergology. Therefore, the motto of the upcoming PTA Congress – “We set directions. We connect experience. We inspire the future” – reflects our shared ambition to create a space conducive to the exchange of knowledge, experiences, and inspiration, as well as shaping the present and future of allergology.

We will prepare a scientific program that will combine the latest advances in academic allergology with the practical aspects of everyday work of physicians and other specialists involved in the diagnosis and treatment of allergic diseases. Among distinguished experts from Poland and abroad, we will discuss current challenges, innovative therapies, modern diagnostic methods and future of the development of our specialty. The Congress will also see the election of new authorities of the Polish Society of Allergology, who will address the challenges in allergology in the coming years at the national and sectional levels.

I believe that the XVI International Congress of the Polish Society of Allergology will be a place for inspiring meetings, creative discussions and the establishment of valuable relationships and collaborations that will bear fruit long after our meeting. I also trust that the Congress will be an excellent opportunity to integrate the community and jointly search for the best solutions for the benefit of our patients.

I hope that together we will create an event that will leave a lasting and positive mark on the development of allergology.

See you in Lodz in October 2027!
