2024-09-05 08:00 - 2024-09-07 17:00 (Europe/Berlin)
The main innovation of GA²FA 2024 was be to develop a breakthrough thinking with an in depth appraisal for what already exists INSIDE the BOX !

How can we maximize the GA²FA Guidelines 2022 and many other guidance documents in the literature? How can we progress steadily in food allergy and anaphylaxis science in different context and with different, usually scarce, resources?

Focusing on the constraints around us, learning each plank IN THE BOX and practicing daily will ultimately allow us to move beyond – outside the box. Drawing in new ideas can be an effective strategy only if there are already clear parameters in mind, if there is a goal that the person or group is working towards.

All together jointly with the ANACARE Working Groups we will find the path to turn a problem into an opportunity unraveling any problem’s potential. We will foster creativity (and will have fun… ) solving the puzzles of food allergy and anaphylaxis diagnosis & management. Exploring the existing elements. We may end up removing some, multiplying others, reorganizing them and sometimes finding the solution in front of us.

The goal of changing the landscape of care for our patients is in YOUR hands: don’t miss the chance to take part in this ambitious adventure at GA²FA 2024 with the ANACARE Working groups!

A global panel of Key Opinion Leaders have been chosen for the ANACARE Scientific Committee and GA²FA Faculty to fully cover the broad range of disease issues that will be highlighted during this comprehensive 2 and half day event. Local Experts will also be invited to join the GA²FA Faculty on the grounds of their renowned up-to-date knowledge.

The members of the international expert panel have, over the past year, reviewed the current knowledge and the recent advances in our understanding of the pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment according to highest standards of guideline methodology, but you, the participants, are the most important element of URTICARIA 2024. The update and revision of the guideline relies on your contributions, your input, feedback, suggestions, and our joint discussions and, of course, on your votes! Thank you for your help and support of this important task.

We want to give you a very warm welcome to URTICARIA 2024 and hope that you enjoy your stay in our city or following the live web stream and remote interactions.

Global Allergy Forum on Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis

Welcome to GAFA 2025

GAFA 2025 – the Global Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Forum – brings together leading experts, clinicians, and researchers to tackle one of the fastest-growing global health concerns: severe food allergies and anaphylaxis. This comprehensive scientific program covers cutting-edge diagnostic approaches (CRD and oral food challenges), treatment strategies (including immunotherapy and biologics) and preventive care, with a strong focus on practical implementation and socio-economic impact.

Hosted in Padua, Italy, this international conference provides a unique platform to exchange cutting-edge science, share clinical practices, and foster collaboration across borders. The event aims to drive innovative solutions by thinking INSIDE the Box — using existing guidelines and resources to improve patient outcomes and healthcare delivery.

Spotlight on Anaphylaxis and Food Allergy

The main innovation of GAFA 2025 will be to develop a breakthrough thinking with an in depth appraisal!

How can we maximize the GAFA Guidelines 2022 and many other guidance documents in the literature? How can we progress steadily in food allergy and anaphylaxis science in different context and with different, usually scarce, resources?

Focusing on the constraints around us, and practicing daily will ultimately allow us to move beyond. Drawing in new ideas can be an effective strategy only if there are already clear parameters in mind, if there is a goal that the person or group is working towards.

We will foster creativity (and will have fun… ) solving the puzzles of food allergy and anaphylaxis diagnosis & management. Exploring the existing elements. We may end up removing some, multiplying others, reorganizing them and sometimes finding the solution in front of us.

Collaborative Efforts with ANACARE Working Groups

The goal of changing the landscape of care for our patients is in YOUR hands: don’t miss the chance to take part in this ambitious adventure at GAFA 2025 with the ANACARE Working groups!

A global panel of Key Opinion Leaders have been chosen for the ANACARE Scientific Committee and GAFA Faculty to fully cover the broad range of disease issues that will be highlighted during this comprehensive 2 and half day event.

Abstract Guidelines

Deadline: 15 October 2025Length of abstract: max. 300 wordsLanguage: EnglishPlease do not include any figures or tables.Please add the names, affiliations and addresses of all authors and co-authors.Repurposed abstracts are ok, original abstracts are preferred.Presenters need to attend!Review ProcessingWe highly recommend keeping the evaluation process as it was done in previous years, since this was very practical, uncomplicated, and clear for all reviewers.This would mean: After the submission deadline Bluebuds will send an excel sheet with all the information on each abstract (Title, authors, topic, etc.) and an individual evaluation column for each reviewer (Selection options are: Oral, Poster, Reject, no rating as (co-)author) plus a PDF with the abstracts.The group of reviewers will be divided into two groups so that each reviewer will evaluate approximately 40-50 abstracts. The fact that each abstract is evaluated by 10 reviewers already allows a first rough order. Bluebuds would than close the evaluation process by consolidating the results in one overview.
