We are delighted to invite you to the SSAI Annual Congress and the Swiss Autoimmune Liver Disease Meeting, a joint event of the Swiss Society for Allergology and Immunology (SSAI) and the Fondazione Epatocentro Ticino. It will take place on 27–28 August 2026, at the beautiful Palazzo dei Congressi in Lugano. While maintaining the typical SSAI diversity, this collaboration reflects a growing convergence between immunology and hepatology, and is an opportunity for translational communication and research. By joining forces, we aim to foster scientific excellence, promote innovation, and create a dynamic space for interdisciplinary and professional development.
