The COPD Foundation is proud to be hosting the COPD7USA Conference, modeled after the COPD7 Conference held last summer in the U.K. Originally hosted in Europe on even-years, the European-held COPD Conference series for researchers and healthcare professionals is coming to the U.S. for the first time and will continue to meet in the states on alternating years.
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is one of the world’s largest healthcare concerns and its threat continues to worsen each year. An estimated 24 million Americans live with COPD, and 210 million worldwide.
World-leading researchers in the field will be present to give talks on the building blocks of COPD research, challenges in treatment, best practices for proper diagnosis and management of the disease, characterizing phenotypes, and addressing comorbidities.
In addition to four days of discussions, hands on workshops and training, these two conferences will also have an exhibit hall where you can explore the latest in COPD treatment, oxygen equipment and community initiatives.
