Dear Friends and Colleagues,

Welcome back! After two hard years of organizing our conference in a virtual format, it gives me immense pleasure to invite you to participate in the XXII International Congress on Pediatric Pulmonology, to be held in the French Riviera on June 29th - July 2nd, 2023. And YES, it will be LIVE face to face meeting. The meeting will take place in The Antibes Juan-les-Pins, which is an exceptional cultural heritage in the heart of one of Côte d’Azur’s most beautiful locations.

Over the years, CIPP has acquired a reputable status among practitioners, researchers, and academicians as the forum for new information, treatment guidelines, interactions, and exchange of ideas between leading specialists and practitioners in Pediatric Pulmonology from both developed and developing countries.Our meeting, is the only global meeting that is fully devoted to pediatric pulmonology. In order to catch up with the scientific development in our field, the meeting has been held as an annual event.

In line with our tradition, we are believers in the importance of basic and clinical research in our field, particularly in poor-resourced countries. We offer our Young Investigators with the unique opportunity to present their work in unopposed sessions to the leading specialists in the world and obtain valuable feedback to improve their work.We also offer an Award program to promote attendance and presentation with active participating and interaction between researchers and academic leaders.

Aside from plenary sessions and topic symposiums, a hallmark of CIPP is the number of interactive sessions that include among others research/poster presentations, clinical case discussions, and full-day postgraduate courseson clinical radiology, home-ventilation and bronchoscopy.

The meeting at the French Riviera will mark the return to face-to-face CIPP meetings. The program for the coming congress is currently being prepared by Dr. ElianneVrijlandt(The Netherlands) and Dr. Michael Fayon (France), co-chairs Scientific Program Committee, with support from the Central and International Advisory Board Committee, promises to be exceptional.

We are inviting you to participate and enjoy the exchange of ideas, projects, clinical cases, experiences, and concerns. We hope you can take this opportunity to develop or increase you professional and personal network. As expected, I am sure you will get to know new friends and rejoin with the old friendships.
