World Allergy Forum

The World Allergy Forum (WAF) is the longest running educational program series sponsored by the World Allergy Organization (WAO). World Allergy Forum symposia are held at major international allergy meetings. Each symposium is developed by an international expert advisory panel to provide up-to-the-minute presentations on scientific and clinical developments in the field of allergic disease.
