Welcome to the ACARE Global Angioedema Forum 2024 (GAF)
We invite you to participate in the first ACARE Global Angioedema Forum 2024 (GAF) in Copenhagen, Denmark, on Friday 4 and Saturday 5 October.
What is GAF? This is the very first Global Angioedema Forum from the ACARE network, an initiative by GA²LEN and HAE International (HAEi). The first GAF will run parallel to the 2024 HAEi Global Leadership Workshop (GLW), offering a unique opportunity for both meetings to join together for a half day on Saturday when ‘GAF meets GLW.’
What can you expect? The GAF will take place over 2 days, where you can learn and exchange ideas on all forms of angioedema. There will be scientific sessions with oral presentations (selected from submitted abstracts), overview lectures by international experts, workshops and poster sessions, as well as discussions and scientific interactions with fellow angioedema researchers and physicians. You will also hear the newest insights on angioedema, differential diagnosis and management, the impact of the disease, and treatment. A special focus will be on hereditary angioedema (HAE).
For a half day on Saturday afternoon, GAF participants have a unique opportunity when – ‘GAF meets GLW’ – and healthcare professionals, patient leads from advocacy organizations, and industry representatives join together to inspire each other.
We hope you will join us in Copenhagen!
Prof. Marcus Maurer, Prof. Henriette Farkas, Prof. Anete Grumach, Prof. Markus Magerl on behalf of The GAF Steering and Organizing Committee

Important information about traveling to and from Copenhagen
It is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT for all participants that:
(1) you have adequate travel insurance. This is a mandatory requirement when traveling to the Global Angioedema Forum 2024. You will be traveling to a foreign country with a healthcare system that likely is very different than your home country. There is no guarantee that hospitals in Copenhagen have HAE-medications you take at home or HAE medication on hand to treat an attack. Also, you may be required to pay for any emergency care or hospital visits.
(2) you stay up-to-date and act in accordance with the travel regulations related to COVID-19 and any required vaccines for travel to the meeting country. This is your responsibility. It also includes regulations from the airline company, your country of origin, any transit countries, if necessary, and the destination country.
(3) you are aware that your contact details and email address will be added as a subscriber to HAEi’s mailing list. You will receive relevant information about HAE and HAEi. You can unsubscribe from the mailing list at any time.
There will be no emergency care or HAE medication available at the venue.
Neither HAEi, any HAEi Member Organization, GA²LEN or ACARE can assume liability or be expected to provide medical care of any nature (HAE, Coronavirus, regular flu, etc.) if you experience problems during your stay in the Workshop country or while traveling.
