Welcome Letter

Welcome to the European Bronchiectasis Workshop 2025 – Association & Patient Programme

We are delighted to welcome you to the Association & Patient Programme, at the 4th European Bronchiectasis Workshop, in Paris, France, 20–22 February 2025.
As a Bronchiectasis patient, your wellbeing is central to our mission of promoting greater awareness and understanding of this condition.

Benefits of the Association & Patient Programme
The aim of the Association & Patient Programme is to bring together diverse voices and perspectives, to share vital information and open up a dialogue within the community, to help us in the fight against Bronchiectasis.

A dedicated programme, just for you
In collaboration with the European Lung Foundation (ELF), we are excited to offer you a dedicated programme tailored specifically for you.

During the conference, our experts will be on hand to summarise important information and answer any questions you might have – whether on-site at the conference, or during the live-streamed online sessions.

New this year, we are thrilled to announce the Open-to-Public Conference, “Dialogue in Bronchiectasis.” This Saturday afternoon session aims to raise awareness of Bronchiectasis plus any associated medical conditions, and the impact of this disease on patients, families and caregivers.

Languages
The conference will be held in French, with simultaneous translation into English, and subtitles in several languages. It will also be live-streamed for those unable to attend in person. (Recorded content will also be available in English, with subtitles in several languages).

Your participation
As your participation is invaluable in helping us raise awareness and improve patient care for Bronchiectasis, we encourage you to attend these events and make your voice heard by the medical establishment and the general public – as we all work together to build a more informed and empowered Bronchiectasis community.

We look forward to your registration for attendance (free of charge), and your participation at the conference.

Warm regards,

Prof. Pierre-Régis Burgel
Prof. Francesco Blasi
Prof. James D. Chalmers
