With this holistic forum educational event, we aim to fill the gaps in knowledge for
food allergy and anaphylaxis training with live educational event located in Padua,
while at the same time make this forum available for delegates worldwide with a
hybrid option. The GA²LEN ANACARE Anaphylaxis and Food Allergy Forum
(“GAFA”) meeting will leverage on the new GA2LEN Guidelines for Clinical Practice
for Food Allergy Management.
A global panel of Key Opinion Leaders have been chosen for the GA²LEN
ANACARE Scientific Committee and GAFA Faculty to fully cover the broad range of
disease issues that will be highlighted during this comprehensive two- and one-half-
day event. Local Experts will also join the GAFA Faculty to present up-to-date
knowledge in the field anaphylaxis and food allergy.
You are cordially invited to be an active participant in this highly valued educational
