It is our pleasure to invite you to join us in Córdoba, Argentina for the 17^th International Congress on Antiphospholipid Antibodies 2022 taking place from 11^th – 14^th May 2022.

The International Congress on Antiphospholipid Antibodies (aPL) is held every three years to discuss the recent advances and future directions in aPL and Antiphospholipid Syndrome (APS).  Our exciting programme will  review, discuss, and debate many exciting and evolving topics, all of great relevance across a range of medical subspecialties including Rheumatology, Internal Medicine, Haematology, Obstetrics, Cardiology and Neurology. The scientific aspects of the congress will also span to many disciplines including Genetics, Vascular Biology, Immunology, Diagnostics and Thrombosis & Haemostasis.

As times are uncertain due to the pandemic, this meeting is being planned as a hybrid meeting with on site and virtual modalities available.  This modality is a tangible possibility considering that both the Argentinean and world population is constantly being vaccinated. Therefore, we are preparing for a new post-pandemic normality in which the hybrid meeting will provide a space for face-to-face interaction, while opening the possibility for a wide virtual participation of the medical community from all over the world. 

Our exciting programme will include state of the art presentations from internationally recognized physicians and scientists, task force presentations, oral and poster presentations, meet the expert sessions, satellite symposia and a patient education workshop. 

We are looking forward to welcoming investigators, patients, and industry partners from around the globe for a vibrant and dynamic discussion over the duration of this congress.

Yours sincerely
