The secret sauce that explains the success of the International Asthma Conference at Nemacolin is quite simple: every year, we bring together the most brilliant minds in the world working in the field of asthma and give them an opportunity to present their newest ideas in a friendly, comfortable, and interactive setting. The only rule is…there are no rules! No heavy program books to carry…all talks are in the same auditorium! No hard decisions to make among different topics…it’s all about asthma! Just add the spectacular beauty of a five-stars resort like Nemacolin and you will have the recipe for a conference that just keeps getting better 14 years later….and counting.

The International Asthma Conference at Nemacolin is unique because it places the intellectual heavyweights of the asthma world on a small stage, where their scientific views, opinions, and hypotheses are scrutinized by a discriminating audience limited to 175 attendees. The meeting provides an ideal environment to learn about the latest developments in asthma, and develop effective communication skills through both observation and participation.
