Dear colleagues,

It is our great pleasure to welcome you to St. Gallen for the Joint Annual Meeting 2027 of the Swiss Society of Pneumology, the Swiss Society of Thoracic Surgery and the Swiss Society for Allergology and Immunology, taking place on 1–2 July 2027 at Olma Messen St.Gallen.

The 2027 meeting will bring together specialists and researchers from pneumology, thoracic surgery, allergology and immunology. This interdisciplinary collaboration provides a valuable opportunity to exchange knowledge, discuss shared clinical challenges and explore the latest scientific and medical developments across our fields.

Together with the Scientific Committee, we are preparing a varied and inspiring programme featuring state-of-the-art lectures, scientific abstract presentations, interactive sessions and educational formats. Delegates will gain insights into recent guidelines, innovative treatment approaches and new developments in clinical practice and research. The programme will offer both young and experienced colleagues numerous opportunities to deepen their knowledge and engage in stimulating discussions.

Oral abstract sessions and poster presentations will provide researchers and clinicians with a platform to present their latest scientific findings and interesting clinical cases. Breaks and networking events will offer ample opportunity to meet colleagues, establish new contacts and exchange ideas with representatives from academia, healthcare and industry in a welcoming environment.

We are convinced that the programme will meet the expectations of our delegates and contribute to an inspiring and rewarding congress. We very much look forward to welcoming you to St. Gallen in July 2027.
