Pre & Post Meeting Events
Extend Your Scientific Journey
Maximize your trip to Europe by participating in specialized pre- and post-meeting workshops and symposia.
To provide an even richer scientific and educational experience around ESID 2026, the European Society for Immunodeficiencies is proud to endorse select satellite events hosted by leading research networks. Whether you are looking to master advanced diagnostic techniques before the main congress or dive deep into focused disease research immediately following it, we invite you to incorporate these exceptional opportunities into your travel itinerary.
PRE-MEETING WORKSHOP • TUESDAY 13 OCTOBER 2026
EuroFlow Pre-ESID Flow Cytometry Workshop
Interactive workshop on flow cytometric screening and prognostic classification of IEI-PID
Designed specifically for clinical immunologists, laboratory immunologists, and diagnostic technicians, this high-level interactive workshop focuses on the practical application of flow cytometry for the diagnosis and classification of Inborn Errors of Immunity (IEI-PID).
Participants will gain hands-on knowledge of standardized, ISO15189-compatible, and clinically validated EuroFlow antibody panels. Explore age-related reference datasets, databases containing hundreds of genetically annotated cases, and state-of-the-art software tools for automated gating and reporting.
🔬 Standardized EuroFlow Panels & ISO15189
Gain direct insights into standardized, ISO15189-compatible antibody panels and external quality assessment (EQA) for diagnostic accuracy.
📊 Age-Related Reference Values & Databases
Understand age-dependent immune cell subset references and access databases containing hundreds of genetically annotated IEI-PID cases.
👶 Algorithm-Based Newborn & IEI Screening
Explore modern algorithm-driven workflows for low-TREC newborn screening and early identification of complex immunodeficiencies.
💡 Novel Biomarkers in CVID Outcomes
Discover newly validated immune biomarkers capable of predicting clinical disease course and outcome in CVID patients.
POST-MEETING SYMPOSIUM • MONDAY 19 OCTOBER 2026
5th International Symposium on Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome
Advancing WAS and WASp Research: From Basic Mechanisms to Clinical Breakthroughs
Following ESID 2026, this dedicated international symposium brings together researchers and clinicians in Ferney-Voltaire (France, right next to Geneva Airport) to present, discuss, and advance work in the area of WAS and WASp research and clinical care.
Meeting participants will gain valuable insights into innovative perspectives across both basic and clinical domains. The scientific programme brings together international experts to evaluate breakthroughs in basic biology, advances in clinical management, novel therapeutic avenues, and state-of-the-art stem-cell, cellular, and gene therapies.
