Dear HAEi friends,

HAEi – the international umbrella organization for the world’s HAE patient groups – cordially invites you to attend the 2016 HAE Global Conference which will take place in Madrid, Spain, 19 – 22 May 2016.

Following the great success of our 2012 HAE Global Conference in Copenhagen and our 2014 HAE Global Conference in Washington DC, we look forward to welcoming you to this third HAE Global Conference. The conference brings together patients, care givers, health care professionals, and also invites industry representatives, to learn more about HAE, share experiences and knowledge in a friendly atmosphere conducted and driven by the patient community through HAEi.

The theme for the 2016 HAE Global Conference is “Creative Advocacy for Expanding Access to Therapy,” where our aim continuously is to find ways to improve time to diagnosis, to secure life saving therapies and get funding for these – allowing HAE friends around the world to lead a safer life and fulfill their life’s potential.

Registration for the conference is open until 1 May 2016!
Registration will take place on a first come, first serve basis – and since we again offer some extremely attractive registration rates and conditions, please do not wait too long registering for this exciting conference, where we expect to gather 550-600 people in Madrid. After 1 May all registration will be on a request basis.

Travel grants – IMPORTANT information.
HAEi is sorry to inform you that there are no more travel grants available for the 2016 HAE Global Conference. You can of course still register for the 2016 HAE Global Conference, but - unfortunately - not receive a travel grant any longer.

It is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT that (1) you travel with a sufficient quantity of HAE medication to cover your needs while you are away from home, and (2) either you (or your care giver/travel companion) are able to administer your prescribed therapy.

There will be no emergency care or HAE medication available at the conference venue. Please keep in mind that you will be traveling to a foreign country with a health care system that likely is very different than your home country. There is no guarantee that hospitals in Madrid have HAE medicines on hand to treat an attack. Also, you may be required to pay for any emergency care or hospital visit.

Neither HAEi nor any HAEi member organizations can assume liability or be expected to provide medical care if you experience problems while traveling.

Please check this website frequently for the latest information on sessions, exhibitor information and more. We look forward to seeing as many of you as possible in May in Madrid!

Best wishes,

HAEi
