INVITATION

Dear Colleagues and Friends,
The 69th Annual Scientific Meeting of the Japanese Society of Allergology has been prepared since 2016, planned to be co-sponsored by the World Allergy Organization (WAO) at the Kyoto International Conference Center from September 17 to 20, 2020. However, due to the COVID-19 Pandemic that began in early 2020, it is no longer possible to hold international exchanges and academic meetings as before. Since the beginning of this year, the Local Organizing Committee and the Scientific Program Committee have been searching for various ways to hold the event. Finally, due to the second surge in spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus after the declaration of the State of Emergency was lifted, the committees made the decision to hold the conference entirely online.
The Keynote lecture by Prof. Shimon Sakaguchi followed by the opening ceremony which includes a memorial event for Drs. Ishizaka will be available online for both streaming and on-demand access. All Plenary Lectures, Symposiums, and general presentations which include Mini Symposiums and Poster Sessions will also be uploaded online in advance with their respective audio, and will be viewable online for one month starting at the scheduled period. Despite the pandemic, a total of 824 general abstracts were submitted from Japan and overseas, with 665 abstracts in English and 164 abstracts in Japanese.
This is the first attempt by the Japanese Society of Allergology to hold this annual meeting online, as well as co-hosting with the World Allergy Organization (WAO) and in conjunction with the Asian Pacific Academy of Pediatric Allergy Respirology and Immunology (APAPARI). We understand the sudden change in method along with the shortened preparation period may cause inconvenience to all delegates, but we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kind understanding in light of the pandemic situation.
Motohiro Ebisawa, M.D., Ph.D.
