HAE GLOBAL CONFERENCES

The largest international gathering with a focus on HAE topics

Every second year HAEi welcomes HAE patients, caregivers, health care professionals, and industry representatives to the HAE Global Conference – the largest international gathering of its kind solely with a focus on HAE topics. At the conferences, the participants learn much more about HAE as they share experiences and knowledge in a friendly atmosphere conducted and driven by the patient community organized in HAEi.

The first HAE Global Conference took place in Copenhagen, Denmark in 2012, followed by Washington D.C., USA in 2014 and Madrid, Spain in 2016. Most recently the HAE Global Conference took place in Vienna, Austria in May 2018.

New in 2022: HAEi has chosen to change from the well-known single Global Conference format every two years, to one Global Leadership Workshop and three Regional Conferences to take place over a two-year period.

Although the perspective of HAEi is global, we recognize and celebrate the diversity among the regions of the world that we serve. That is why we will organize three HAEi Regional Conferences over the next two years.

The first HAEi Global Leadership Workshop occurred in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, from 6 to 9 October 2022 – and the first HAEi Regional Conference took place in Bangkok, Thailand from 17 to 19 March 2023.

Dates: 6-9 Oct 2022
Venue: Frankfurt, Germany
Theme: Together Again
Attendees: Approx. 500

2020 HAE Virtual Global Conference

Due to the situation regarding COVID-19 (novel coronavirus) HAEi leadership decided on 18 March 2020 to cancel the 2020 HAE Global Conference scheduled to take place 14-17 May 2020 in Frankfurt, Germany.

While COVID-19 prevented us from meeting in person, the “can-do” spirit of the HAE global community has inspired transforming this widely anticipated bi-annual conference into an exciting virtual event.
