Symposium on Specific Allergy

Symposium on Specific Allergy (SOSA) is a global forum dedicated to advancing knowledge about specific allergies and allergy immunotherapy.

SOSA has been conducted in physical, virtual, and hybrid formats since 1994, engaging more than 25,000 healthcare professionals from around the world.

SOSA focuses on delivering comprehensive content that closely aligns with the latest developments in allergy research. SOSA has been fortunate to feature esteemed presenters who are leading experts in their respective fields, representing a global network to ensure thorough and impactful knowledge sharing.

The symposia have varied in length, ranging from half a day to two days depending on the format. By attending the symposium, participants have had the opportunity to earn CME credits.

You can see an overview of previous SOSAs and examples of formerly conducted programs here.
