WISC 2012 | Hyderabad, India | 6-9 December 2012 Severe Allergies, Severe Asthma: New Strategies for Optimal Treatment & Prevention
Invitation to ParticipateDear Colleagues,
We are delighted to welcome you to participate in the World Allergy Organization International Scientific Conference (WISC 2012) in Hyderabad, India, 6-9 December 2012. The theme of the Conference is Severe Allergies, Severe Asthma: New Strategies for Treatment and Prevention.
Building on the success of the first WISC in Dubai, December 2010, WAO is excited to launch its second theme-based scientific conference. With 24 Postgraduate Courses on a wide range of topics, Plenary Sessions, Parallel Symposia, Keynote Lectures, Poster Sessions and Highlights in Immunotherapy, WISC 2012 will be a multidisciplinary forum for allergists, pulmonologists, ENTs, dermatologists, internists, pediatricians, gastroenterologists, clinical immunologists and primary care physicians.
WAO is organizing these focused, theme-based scientific conferences in recognition of:
• The increasing prevalence and more complex forms of allergic diseases and asthma worldwide, especially in children
• The need to create a more integrated approach to the diagnosis and management of allergic diseases
• The need to expand the knowledge and practice of allergy and provide more practical knowledge to young professionals
The 2012 Conference on Severe Allergies, Severe Asthma: New Strategies for Treatment and Prevention will provide a forum for the most useful combination of latest research, review of current theory and practice, and hands-on, problem-based learning. Our aim is that participants gain insight into the most effective advances in the diagnosis and management of complex and severe allergies and asthma and in their preventative strategies.
We look forward to seeing you in Hyderabad, India!

Allergic rhinitis is a common condition worldwide that significantly impactspatient quality of life and presents a major economic burden to society.
Allergic Rhinitis: WAO Online Learning ModulesThe Allergic Rhinitis Working Group has developed two new case-based, online learning modules on Allergic Rhinitis in both adults and children. In these self-paced interactive programs, participants are able to move through the case histories and follow links to a number of online resources about allergic rhinitis. The modules are free WAO programs with universal access.
To access the WAO Online Learning Modules, visit http://www.worldallergy.org/allergic_rhinitis.
Online Learning Modules sponsored through an unrestricted educational grant from:
The WAO Allergic Rhinitis Working Group is a worldwide initiative focused on raising awareness and sharing information on allergic rhinitis toward improved patient care. The initial goals of the Working Group are to:
• gathereducationalandscientificmaterials on allergic rhinitis into a central repository for freely available worldwide access, and
•provideinteractivelearningprograms on allergic rhinitis in children and adults.
