Pulmonology On Air Global Event 2026

🌐Part I – Europe & Asia | 📅 November 19, 2026 | 🕐08:00 - 16:30 CET

🌐 Part II – United States | 📅 December 3, 2026 | 🕐 04:00 PM - 07:00 PM ET

Following the success of our previous Global Events, we are excited to introduce a new format for the 2026 Pulmonology on Air Global Event, designed to expand our global reach and make the educational experience even more accessible to our international audience.

For the first time, the Global Event will be delivered in two dedicated parts, allowing us to better accommodate different time zones and maximize participation across regions.

Led by Professor Felix Herth from ThoraxKlinik in Heidelberg, Germany, the first part of the Global Event will bring together experts and hospitals from Europe and Asia for a shared program of live clinical education and case-based discussion.

The second part will focus exclusively on the United States and will be led by Professor Adnan Majid from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Boston, bringing together US-based experts and centers for a dedicated educational program tailored to the American audience. 

One event. Two dedicated programs. A wider global reach. 

While the Global Event is now divided into two parts, registration remains simple and unified: you only need to register once to access both programs. The event page will remain the same, giving you a single point of access to the complete Global Event experience. 

By bringing Europe, Asia and the United States together across two dedicated programs, we aim to make the Global Event bigger, more accessible and more relevant to our international pulmonology community, while creating more opportunities for physicians to learn from leading experts and share clinical experience across borders.

The Course is complimentary and will be held in English.
